The South Korean government's YouTube channel was hacked. A multimillion audience witnessed the scam, promoted by an official source.

If you look at the picture on a scale, you can see a specific pattern, or rather the hackers' love for the big YouTube and not only channels of South Korea.

After all, it's recently been a hack to fool gullible fans of "airtime multipliers, Johnny Ive's metaverses" and other scams.

In the case of the Korean government channel, the criminals changed the account name to "SpaceX Invest" to convince users that it was affiliated with the American space rocket maker headed by Elon Musk.

Perhaps it was Musk himself who ordered it because he felt that he was being forgotten :D. 

To further confuse consumers, the scammers posted videos of interviews in which the wealthiest people in the world talked about bitcoin and other digital currencies. However, the Korean government responded quickly and identified this scam shield in just a few hours.
