Deleted Livestream Promoted Crypto Scam

删除直播推广加密骗局

On June 23, 2024, a now-deleted livestream featuring Elon Musk's likeness aired on YouTube, directing viewers to a fraudulent website and soliciting Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin deposits.

2024 年 6 月 23 日，YouTube 上播出了一段以埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 为主角的直播，现已删除，该直播将观众引导至欺诈网站并招揽比特币、以太坊和狗狗币存款。

The stream, which garnered over 30,000 viewers, employed semi-pixelated videos of Elon Musk and an AI-generated voice promising to "automatically return double the amount of cryptocurrency you deposited." The "elontestastream" account was verified as Tesla but has since been removed by Google.

该直播吸引了超过 30,000 名观众，使用了埃隆·马斯克的半像素化视频和人工智能生成的声音，承诺“自动返还您存入的加密货币金额的两倍”。 “elontestastream”帐户已被验证为特斯拉，但已被谷歌删除。

Elon Musk Scams

埃隆·马斯克骗局

This incident joins a pattern of crypto scams using deepfakes of Musk's image and voice. In April 2024, fraudulent "Space X giveaway" scams appeared on YouTube during the solar eclipse. In May, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission warned of a fake crypto exchange employing Musk's AI-generated videos.

这起事件加入了利用马斯克图像和声音的深度伪造的加密货币诈骗模式。 2024 年 4 月，日食期间 YouTube 上出现了欺诈性的“Space X 赠品”骗局。今年 5 月，香港证券及期货事务监察委员会警告称，存在利用马斯克人工智能生成视频的虚假加密货币交易所。

According to an Elliptic report, AI has become a tool for crypto scammers, posing threats to the credibility of both AI and the crypto industry.

根据 Elliptic 的报告，人工智能已成为加密货币诈骗者的工具，对人工智能和加密货币行业的可信度构成威胁。
