Microsoft India’s Twitter account, with over 211K followers, was hacked by scammers to promote a fake GameStop crypto pre-sale. The scammers posted videos of Roaring Kitty, linking it to an unverified site claiming to offer a GME crypto presale. Experts suggested that the breach could result from a SIM-swapping attack, a common method to bypass two-factor authentication.
