Crypto-criminals hijacked the YouTube channel for Australia’s 7News to promote a digital currency scam featuring Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The AI-altered video featured Musk urging viewers to scan a QR code displayed on the screen. Upon scanning, users are redirected to a website controlled by the bad actors featuring their cryptocurrency wallets. To seem legitimate, the YouTube live chatbox also featured a comment claiming that crypto investors sent over $5,000,000. At one point, the hijacked channel ran three simultaneous live streams, with each stream averaging more than 50,000 viewers.
