Racionais MC’s YouTube channel with over 3 million subscribers was hacked this Friday afternoon (05). All content has been taken down and only the lives of cryptocurrency scams are shown on the rap group’s platform.
The attack, which is already known and even reached Flamengo, targets fraudulent applications involving cryptocurrencies. Live streams show people like Elon Musk and Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey talking about investing to instill confidence in unsuspecting netizens.
The live streams also mention well-known cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum and have high simultaneous views aimed at attracting YouTube viewers. In the case of the Racionais channel, the name and brand were also changed to simulate the Ark Invest company.
So far, the music group has not made an official statement on the matter. However, the hacker attack has already started to resonate on social media. Check out some of the Twitter posts about the coup.
