A large company Group-IB, working in the field of cybersecurity, reported that another wave of #cryptocurrency fraud took place on the YouTube service. The attackers received assets worth $1.6 million. According to the TASS news agency with reference to the Group-IB press service, scammers use videos of people popular in the crypto community, such as Brad Garlinghouse or Vitalik #Buterin. They modify videos and mount streams from them, in which they promise to double any number of cryptocurrencies received on their wallet. Of course, the funds remain at the addresses of the scammers. The fake stream with #Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin was watched by 165,000 viewers. Some of them believed the scammers and transferred funds to their address. The owners of assets in the Ethereum network transferred coins and tokens worth $933,900 to criminals. Another scheme was aimed at #NFT owners. In the description of the video, the scammers posted a link to a phishing site and promised a special collector's token to those who would leave their data – a password and a key to restore access to the account.
