Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has warned the community about a potential security breach on IOG's official YouTube channel. The channel, which has millions of subscribers, appears to have been compromised, and users are advised not to trust any videos or links posted there.

Hoskinson took to X to spread the warning, stating that 'The IOG YouTube apparently has been compromised. Do not trust any videos or click on any links on it.' He also mentioned that the team is working with YouTube to take down the channel and reset its credentials.

This incident comes at a time when crypto is facing significant security concerns, including a recent breach where an attacker convinced Revolut to hand over customer information. The compromised IOG channel has been posting updates from a few weeks ago, but users are still advised to exercise caution.
