This guys are gone wild and once again managed to control a popular YouTube channel and used it to promote a fake giveaway with more than 5000 BTC claimed to be doubled back to the users.

The YouTube channel hacked have 6.7 millions subscribers and with the hack the criminals controlled the channel and earn with that activity something like 0.02714 BTC worth at time less than $300, with that proving one more time how easy is to find a breach on a social "centralised" media network and promote fake products.

Luckily the report from the channel owner to YouTubeIndia on twitter avoided more harm to subscribers pocket and the giveaway way taken down by the YouTube staff, but they didn't managed to protect their loyal users and exposure to this scams that are all over the video platform which have been sued by Steven Wozniak, the Apple Co-founder because of that "laziness" and passivity from YouTube that's constantly fail to take out videos and images from personalities and high profiles figures that have been criminally associated with those scams only with purpose to lure people. 

Ajey Nagar aka @CarryMinati reporting his account hack on twitter to YouTubeIndia, he also have another popular channel with 24.1 million followers but that one didn't got compromised.

YouTube Channel @Carryislive showing the fake giveaway with 5000 BTC in rewards also 100.000 ETH to be won and with detailed info how to participate on that scam.

This time the hacking just managed to steal less that $300 worth in BTC, but several other scams on YouTube have been running for months and was able to steal more than $36 million from users in the famous "Elon Musk BTC doubler giveaway" after criminals discovered that using public figures bring more victims to their fraudulent business, they adopted that scheme and people have lost large quantities of digital assets. 

I don't blame who sue this companies as they continuously fail to protect users from scams, they have knowledge of them but they keep them running on their platform and most absurdly they also allow this fraudsters to use identity of famous people such Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Steven Wozniak among many, and that behaviour constitutes abuse from the social media security and management staff and somehow they deserve to pay do that. 

Recently we followed other "screaming" security fail on twitter that leaded to several prominent high profile accounts to be taken down and used to spread fake giveaways with lead them to earn with that, 12.86 BTC worth at the time more than $108,000. 

Time to get this social media network responsibility for their participation on the schemes, if they allow those breach means that no one info is secure with them, and the most funniest is that they still suspending accounts with smallest break of their rules and complete fail to protect users data on their platform, time for a shift time for a blockchain decentralized media where no one controls user data!
