Input Output Group has urged users to avoid its YouTube channel, with the channel on Friday livestreaming a suspected AI-manipulated video of Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson promoting a crypto giveaway.

The livestream, which has been live for nearly two hours at the time of writing, directs viewers to a QR code with a promise to “double your wealth.”

“Please avoid interacting with the IO Group YouTube channel until further notice,” the company said in a warning on its official X account, advising users against clicking links, sending funds or sharing personal information in response to content on the channel.
