IOG and Cardano YouTube channel hacked to push fake ADA giveaway
- —IOG's YouTube channel was hacked, streaming an AI deepfake of Hoskinson promising to double crypto
- —Viewers were shown a QR code disguised as a Project Catalyst town hall
- —IOG urged users not to click links or send funds until access is restored
- —The Cardano network is unaffected — risk exists only when interacting with scam links
Why it matters: Scammers are using the project's official channel, lending credibility to the scam; ADA holders should ignore any 'giveaways' in Cardano's name.
