According to PANews, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) in China has recently exposed a new scam involving fake digital yuan apps. These counterfeit apps imitate the icons, background images, and promotional slogans of legitimate apps to create the impression of being an official app. The scams typically have the following characteristics: firstly, they use the guise of national welfare distribution to lure victims into spreading the fake app by offering bonuses for referrals; secondly, they entice the public to register with their real names by offering so-called 'welfare funds,' thereby obtaining sensitive personal information; and thirdly, they set up dedicated customer service group pages to divert victims to less common social media tools, where they defraud them of their money. The MIIT reminds the public to be cautious of potential scams involving apps. It advises not to click on unknown links, scan unfamiliar QR codes, or browse strange websites, and to download apps through official channels. Additionally, when investing or managing finances, it is important to choose qualified and legitimate channels, and to be wary of any recommendations claiming to have 'inside information,' 'high returns,' or 'risk-free' investments. The authenticity of national welfare policies should be confirmed through official channels.

According to Blockworks, social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, is facing a deepfake problem that could potentially harm the cryptocurrency industry. Scammers are using AI-generated voice recordings and lip animations to create fake videos featuring prominent figures in the crypto world, such as Michael Saylor, Brad Garlinghouse, and Anatoly Yakovenko. These videos promote fake crypto airdrops and encourage users to scan QR codes or follow links to receive money, putting their digital assets and personal information at risk. The fact that these posts are often tagged as advertisements adds a veneer of legitimacy, making the situation even more concerning. X has not made any visible effort to address the issue, despite owner Elon Musk's previous pledge to solve the spam bot problem. The platform has long served as a central hub for inter-industry relations, but the growing prevalence of deepfake scams threatens its reputation. Recent developments in AI-generated video tools, such as OpenAI's text-to-video product, could potentially make deepfake scams even more sophisticated and widespread. The crypto industry should take a proactive approach to addressing this issue, possibly by exploring alternative social media platforms or pushing for a response from X and Musk.
