Microsoft's X account hijacked to promote $CLIPPY scam token

Attackers briefly took over Microsoft's official X account to promote a meme cryptocurrency token called $CLIPPY tied to the Clippy mascot from Office 97. Microsoft confirmed unauthorized access, removed the posts and secured the account.

• Hijackers retweeted a fake ClippyMSFTCo post to 13 million followers
• Scammers posted a fake apology on Microsoft's behalf
• X disabled @clippymsftcto, but @ClippyMSFT kept promoting the token
• Microsoft said it is investigating the incident
