Input Output Group has officially requested that users refrain from interacting with its YouTube channel. The company issued this warning on its X account after the channel began broadcasting a suspicious livestream on Friday.

The broadcast features a video of Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, which the company suspects was created using AI manipulation. The content promotes a cryptocurrency giveaway, promising viewers that they can double their wealth.

The livestream remained active for nearly two hours. During the broadcast, viewers were directed to scan a QR code to participate in the scheme. The company has explicitly advised users not to click any links, send funds, or disclose personal data.
