Some groups on social media, especially targeting YouTube and people with high subscriber numbers, are committing Ethereum fraud by showing the accounts they have seized as fake Elon Musk and Tesla’s original channels. They do this by putting the old videos of the CEO on a repetitive broadcast for hours. Finally, Linus Tech Tips, one of the world’s most popular technology YouTube channels, was hacked.
Linus Tech Tips YouTube channel hacked!
These groups, which especially prefer high-follower YouTube channels, open fake Elon Musk posts and try to commit crypto money fraud. So much so that a fake site called usdtesla.io or a QR code is usually used for this.
In these publications, where Elon Musk is said to have distributed millions of dollars in cryptocurrencies, a tweet that seems to have been taken by the CEO is placed at the top to make it more believable. In addition, the name of the site is located just below Musk.
Crypto fraudsters at work: Trabzonspor hacked!
Trabzonspor YouTube account hacked. Images of Elon Musk from the past period are shared like a live broadcast. Here are the details…
This organized fraud group says during the broadcast that if they send them crypto money, they will get a double return. For example, it is said that 0.2 ETH will be sent back to the sender of 0.1 ETH, or 2 BTC to the sender of 1 BTC.
Today, the new target of the fraud group was Linus Tech Tips. So much so that the name of the seized channel, the photo and the username in the URL were changed, and the broadcast was opened with the images of Musk for crypto money fraud.
The Linus Tech Tips YouTube channel has been hacked. However, this is not the first and will not be the last. Previously in Turkey, Tuna Akşen, MuratAbiGF and Trabzonspor, nicknamed Pintipanda, hacked YouTube accounts and opened similar publications. Globally, this number is much higher.
note: The Linus Tech Tips YouTube account has been recovered.
