MicroStrategy’s X account appears to have been compromised on Monday morning Asia time, with hackers posting phishing messages, according to a pseudonymous crypto individual known as Spreek on X.

ZachXBT, a blockchain researcher, said in an X post that at least $440,000 could have been stolen so far from the compromise.

The MicroStrategy’s X account posted a few messages — which were said to be phishing messages — promoting an airdrop of “MSTR token” and linking to a website under the domain “microstralegy.”

MicroStrategy did not immediately respond to The Block’s request for comment. The phishing posts were removed from its X account at around 10 a.m. Hong Kong time.

Update: Added that the phishing X posts were removed.
