Cardano's YouTube channel hijacked with fake Charles Hoskinson livestream scam on Sept. 18

Input Output Group (IOG) warned Cardano users to avoid its YouTube channel after it was hijacked on Sept. 18, broadcasting a fraudulent livestream that used AI-manipulated footage of Charles Hoskinson to promote a fake crypto giveaway promising doubled returns. The scam used Project Catalyst branding and a QR code to trick viewers into sending cryptocurrency, which Cardano advises never to do for giveaways. IOG urged users not to click any links, send funds, or share personal information until the channel is secured again. This incident follows a known pattern of scams targeting Cardano's community using hijacked accounts and fake videos, highlighting ongoing security risks for users.

Following the warning from Input Output Group about the hijacked YouTube channel scam, Cardano's ADA price on Pluang shows resilience, trading at Rp3.763 with a notable 7.88% increase as of Sep 18, 2026, 12:41 WIB. The market cap stands at Rp138,93 trillion, supported by a 24-hour trading volume of Rp9,24 trillion. Pluang users show a buying interest with 59% of orders as buys and a typical hold time of 126 days, indicating steady investor confidence despite security concerns.
