🚨Almost got hit with a pretty convincing scam today.
“
@Jasmineeec6” reached out with what looked like a legitimate BBC interview/podcast opportunity and sent a fake StreamYard invite link. They tried to get me to download software, make an account, then enter a 6-digit verification code to "join the stream."
I stopped before entering the code, changed my passwords, enabled 2FA, ran malware scans, and locked everything down.
Luckily, I found a post from the real Jasmine on LinkedIn warning that her account had been hacked.
Reminder: if someone sends you a StreamYard/interview/podcast invite, verify the domain carefully. The scam isn't always the software, it's often the fake login page designed to steal your account.
I messaged all the big accounts we had in common and a few said they had interviews scheduled!
Stay safe out there.
