But there were also those who decided to take advantage of the high-profile event to their advantage. In parallel with Apple’s speech, we are talking about scammers who started an online post with an alleged interview with the head of the company about cryptocurrencies.
It’s worth noting that the interview itself is authentic – Tim Cook gave it back to CNN Money in 2018. True, those who started streaming with him have nothing to do with the head of Apple. Despite this, they placed a link in the post’s description to a bogus source unrelated to the IT giant.
For added credibility, the attackers added the phrase “Urgent News” (“Urgent News”) above the video, and the broadcast is called Apple Crypto Event 2022.
The broadcast reportedly had more than 10,000 viewers in total.
