Input Output Group, the team behind Cardano, has alerted users to avoid its official YouTube channel after it was hijacked to stream a suspicious video featuring Charles Hoskinson. The livestream reportedly showed an AI-manipulated version of Hoskinson promising to "double your wealth," a common tactic in crypto scams.
According to CoinTelegraph, the company issued a warning following the incident to prevent users from falling victim to the deceptive content. This event highlights growing risks as AI technology is increasingly exploited to create convincing but fraudulent crypto-related material.
For Japanese investors, who are closely monitoring both crypto and AI developments, this serves as a reminder to remain vigilant against emerging digital threats that could impact trust in blockchain projects and online platforms.
