A YouTube Channel With >600K Subscribers Gets Hacked and Livestreams a Crypto Scam...

in #crypto4 years ago

Youtube and Google have become notorious targets for crypto scammers and just when i thought things have gone a bit quite it seems the scammers have become more sophisticated and instead of creating bogus Youtube accounts they have opted to just hack known youtube creators and target their audience.

Caspian Report who has 605,000 subscribers has just fell victim to this and as i write this there is currently a live stream on his channel which is quite obviously a scam, now i assume that his account has been hacked and that he; himself is not complicit in all of this because he is a well established content creator who i doubt would risk all he has worked for; for so little.

As of right now the associated Ethereum address has just shy of 2 ETH ($773.61) in it so there are some who find it difficult to identify a scam, hopefully some of those people will see this post and become aware of these types of things for future reference.
