Cardano's official YouTube channel hacked to stream fake crypto giveaway video.

Input Output Group (IOG), the developer behind Cardano, warned users to avoid its official YouTube channel after it was hacked. The compromised channel livestreamed a nearly two-hour AI-manipulated video of Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, falsely promising to double viewers' wealth via a QR code linked to a crypto scam. IOG urged users not to click links, send funds, or share personal info, but has not disclosed how or when it will regain control. This incident highlights the growing risk of AI-driven scams on trusted crypto platforms.

Cardano's IOG is the story subject, with Pluang market data for context. As of Sep 18, 2026 16:41 WIB, 46 of 50 major cryptocurrencies rose today. Notable movers include BAL at Rp16.297 (+11.14%), THETA at Rp3.538 with 100% buy orders, and BCH at Rp4.413.783 (+10.28%).
