Musk and Trump used to shill crypto scam after Indian influencer’s YouTube hack

Indian YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia fell victim to crypto scammers who gained control of his channels and livestreamed a fraudulent video featuring an AI-altered version of Elon Musk. The scammers rebranded Allahbadia's channels to mimic Tesla and offered fake cryptocurrency giveaways and investment opportunities. The livestreams also featured United States Vice President Kamala Harris and Former President Donald Trump, possibly to exploit the hype around the 2024 elections. The videos have since been taken down, but it is unclear how many users were affected by the scam. This incident follows a similar attack on the Supreme Court of India's YouTube channel.
