Hackers hacked several YouTube crypto influencers and released videos related to cryptocurrency scams

On January 24, hackers attacked the well-known YouTube account on the afternoon of January 23. The account was used to post fake videos with public notices seeking to send money to hacked wallets for free cryptocurrency. Similar currencies have been targeted with BitBoy Crypto, Altcoin Buzz, Box Mining, Floyd Mayweather, Ivan of Tech, Moon, etc. The Binance Smart Chain address set listed in the movie scam currently only has 9 BNB transactions with a total value of $850. Michael Gu claims his YouTube Boxmining account posted the video without permission. "Fortunately, we were able to find and remove the video two minutes after it was announced. By then, there were already people in the community watching and commenting on the film." He added that he performed an internal scan and found no viruses or malfunctions that could allow hackers to access his account. "I think it's YouTube's fault." (cointegraph)
