Scammers hijacked the YouTube channel of Australia's 7News, broadcasting a deep fake of Elon Musk promoting a crypto scam. The channel, rebranded to look like Tesla's, aired a "double-your-money" scam, garnering significant views. Despite attempts to resolve the issue, the channel retained its verification tick. The scammers' addresses held over $11,000 in Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, and Dogecoin. This incident follows similar scams using fake videos of Musk.
