Cardano’s IOG warns users to avoid YouTube channel amid giveaway scam
Summary
Input Output Group warned users to stay away from its YouTube channel after it appeared to livestream a suspected AI-manipulated video of Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson promoting a crypto giveaway. The stream was presented as a Project Catalyst town hall and had been live for nearly two hours. In the video, Hoskinson appears to direct viewers to scan a QR code with a promise to “double your wealth.” Input Output Group told users on X to avoid interacting with the channel until further notice and to not click links, send funds, or share personal information in response to anything posted there.
