Anndy Lian’s comments on fighting scams quoted on Decrypt.co “Hackers Impersonate Crypto Exchange Gemini on YouTube”

Youtube related scam advertised videos continue to flourish on Youtube. Decrypt media publish an article yesterday on hackers impersonating Gemini Crypto Exchange on Youtube. Anndy Lian was also being quoted in the article.

Anndy’s commented in October openly on Twitter urging Youtube to get rid of misleading video that offers an extraordinary return in their investments.

“Come on @YouTube, please get rid of this fake LIVE videos, 105,000 watching, 2800 likes. I am sure @tylerwinklevoss @cameron @Gemini are not and will not run such schemes. #Crypto has a good future, let’s protect it.”

He has also cautioned all that we should be alert and not fall for the scams that are published.

“Always remember, if it is too good to be true, it is most likely not real. If you need to deposit into some strange address first and they promise 5 times more, it is most likely a scam. Do not fall for such traps.”

 

Such scam-like videos have been floating around for a while. Many of us have seen similar videos with Binance or Ethereum on them. These are all fake. And in July (reported by BBC), Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak sued YouTube for allegedly allowing scammers to use images and videos of him to defraud people.

“Crypto giveaway scams must be stopped. If Youtube cannot cope with this, we should try our best to inform and educate everyone about this. I do not want the general public to think that this is how the crypto space is like. Let’s fight the scams together.” Anndy Lian added.

For users who have encountered spam or scam videos or even comments on Youtube. Youtube staff review reported videos 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All is needed is to sign in to Youtube, there is a drop down menu below the player and click “Report”. For more information, you can follow the instruction on this link.

Hackers Impersonate Crypto Exchange Gemini on YouTube

FCA-regulated crypto exchange Gemini exposed two fake YouTube channels on Twitter yesterday.

In brief

  • Crypto exchange Gemini has been impersonated by two YouTube accounts.
  • This kind of thing has been an issue in recent months.
  • Ripple CTO David Schwartz has also experienced problems with YouTube’s impersonation rules.
A hacker took over two YouTube accounts to appear as though they were associated with crypto exchange Gemini, according to a tweet from the company yesterday.

YouTube does not allow impersonations of people or channels on its platform, but impersonations remain an ongoing issue for the social media giant. On this occasion, the hackers rebranded the relevant YouTube accounts with Gemini’s brand name, as well as the crypto exchange’s logo. And Gemini wasn’t too happy.

“These scam accounts are not our company. We have reported these accounts to YouTube,” said Gemini’s official Twitter account yesterday.

What’s more, this is a problem that has appeared to persist for Gemini in recent months.

In October of this year, Twitter user Anndy Lian publicly asked YouTube to bring down fake videos that pretended to be associated with Gemini, as well as the crypto exchange’s co-founders and brothers, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss.

“Come on YouTube, please get rid of this (sic) fake LIVE videos, 105,000 watching, 2800 likes. I am sure Tyler Winklevoss, Cameron Winklevoss, Gemini are not and will not run such schemes,” Lian said.

In July, Gemini itself addressed yet another scam alert, admitting it had been “getting DMs about fake Gemini profiles on various social media platforms.”

Gemini is not alone in running into problems on Youtube. Ripple CTO David Schwartz was banned in April for impersonating…himself. Looks like YouTube just can’t quite hit its mark.

Yahoo Finance: Anndy Lian Spoke at Economics Summit 2020: “Cryptocurrency recreates the future of finance.”

Yahoo Finance: Anndy Lian Spoke at Economics Summit 2020: “Cryptocurrency recreates the future of finance.”

Singapore, Singapore, Dec 5, 2020 – (ABN Newswire) – COVID19 has brought uncertainty to every sector. The financial industry has not been spared. There are vital concerns that are emerging for the Banking & Capital Markets. Economics Summit 2020, held on 2 November 2020, gathered a panel of industry experts to discuss current challenges and share future insights on the topic. Anndy Lian, one of the panelists, shared insights on Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) and its form in the future.

The panel consists of Kent Choi (Team Leader, Credit Suisse), Yvonne Zhang (Director, Risk Advisory, Deloitte), Andrew Colquhoun (Executive Director, Monetary Authority of Singapore), and Anndy Lian (Advisory Board Member, Hyundai DAC) and moderated by Pau Khua Mung.

The topic of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) came up during the discussion. CBDC is known as a new type of currency that governments around the world are experimenting with. It is issued and controlled by the central bank is managed on a digital ledger or blockchain, the same technology that underpins cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin. CBDC also aims to expedite and increase the security of payments between banks, institutions, and individuals.

Andrew Colquhoun, MAS, mentioned that: “Digital currencies are a key area for MAS and central banks globally. Consensus views across different institutions show no immediate urgent use case for CBDC in this region. Many central banks are adopting a wait and see approach and still on a consultation basis.”

Further accelerating central banks’ considerations for the issuance of CBDC, Anndy Lian, Hyundai DAC added: “CBDCs are very early-stage and I believe CBDC is here to stay. CBDC is a form of digital fiat powered by blockchain for many, is traceable and accountable. It works 24/7, nonstop around the clock.” He also went on to clarify that CBDC is not a cryptocurrency. “We must be clear on this and not lumped this (CBDC) into the bucket of cryptocurrencies. There are also crypto companies looking at adding cryptocurrencies on top of CBDC and acting as a bridge. But this is a different concept.”

Digital currencies are still early. It is essential to understand the pros and cons behind it. Digitalization has prompted both regulators and the public to demand increased privacy. Same for CBDCs. Many technologists believe that the right design structure for CBDCs will ensure privacy. “There are many misconceptions on the technology and concept. It will take time to design a suitable model. In my opinion, CBDCs complement and not replace cash. Cryptocurrency recreates the future of finance.” Anndy sums up.

Economics Summit 2020 is an annual event organized by SIM Economics Society (SIMES). SIMES is a student-led society at the Singapore Institute of Management (SIM) committed to learning and researching global economic challenges.

Kevin Kristano, VP in Marcomm, SIMES thanked all the speakers and his colleagues for making this event possible and told the reporter: “Covid-19 has accelerated a vast array of technology adoption and digital transformation in several industries, like banking and finance. I believe that this change is imminent, regardless of the pandemic. I look forward to how this technological shift would affect the global economy.”

The two days summit ended on 2 November 2020. To view the video recording for this panel, go to https://youtu.be/hwgfXNUuwsw

앤디 리안, 디지털 위크 온라인서 ‘블록체인·암호화폐 경험 공유

앤디 리안, 디지털 위크 온라인서 ‘블록체인·암호화폐 경험 공유

“블록체인 산업에는 많은 보풀이 있습니다. 정부가 여러분의 말을 들으려면 실용적이어야합니다”.

현대 DAC테크놀로지의 자문위원 앤디 리안(Anndy Lian)이 디지털 위크 온라인(Digital Week Online)에서 ‘공공 부문에서 블록 체인 및 암호 화폐 탐색’ 주제로 기조 연설을 했다.

디지털 위크 온라인은 10월 12일부터 16일까지 개최된 온라인 서밋이다. 이 이벤트는 기술 전문가, 사업가, 작가, 투자자, 혁신가, 주요 기업 및 정부 부서를 하나로 묶었다.

기조 연설에서 앤디는 블록 체인과 암호 화폐의 사용 측면에서 여러 정부를 다루는 방법에 대한 자신의 경험을 공유했다. 간단한 개요를 제공하는 것으로 시작했으며 블록체인 기술은 아마도 금세기에 가장 훌륭한 예술 작품 중 하나 일 것라고 말했다.

이 기술은 탈 중앙화 원장이며 추적 성 및 추적과 같은 핵심 기능을 통해 변경할 수 없으며 금융, 제조, 공급망 및 정부에서 널리 사용되고 있기 때문에 앞으로도 사용될 것라고 말했다.

그러나 특히 암호 화폐와 관련하여 모든 사람들이 환영하지는 않았으며 실제로 여러 가지 이유로 여러 정부에서 암호 화폐를 비난했다. 예를 들어, 최고의 암호화폐인 비트 코인은 네팔, 방글라데시 등 일부 국가에서 금지되었다. 다른 많은 국가들은 과거에 비트 코인을 받아들이지 않고 블록 체인 기술을 받아 들일 것이라는 점을 분명히 했다.

앤디 리안은 “이것은 정부에게 좋은 출발이다. 현재 정부와 거래 중이거나 공공 부문 입찰에 참여하려는 사람들의 경우 부족한 부분과 블록 체인이 해결하는 데 도움이 될 수있는 것이 아니라 순수한 보풀이 아닌 문제를 해결해야한다”라고 설명했다.

그는 정부가 정부를 다룰 때 현장에서의 경험을 바탕으로 지금까지 기술에 개방적이라고 강조했다. 식량 안보, 신분증 관리 및 자금 흐름 제어가 ‘핫 주제’ 중 일부라고 계속해서 말했다. 싱가포르, 에스토니아, 한국과 같은 국가들은 이미 기존 인프라와 함께 블록 체인 기술을 사용하여 문제를 해결하기위한 여정을 시작하고 있다.

공공 부문을 탐색하려면 시간과 결정이 필요하다. 기업은 제품과 솔루션을 판매하기 위해 정부에 말하기 전에 준비가되어 있어야하며 그들은 파트너쉽과 충분한 마케팅을 통해 신뢰를 쌓고 신뢰도를 높여 적절하게 스스로를 구축해야한다. 당신의 브랜드는 어떤 형태의 비즈니스를 위해 접근하기 전에 약간의 견인력을 얻어야한다.

앤디는 이 모든 것이 솔루션 제공한 업체가 실제 기술로 뒷받침 될 때만 가능하다는 점을 강조했다. 그는 또한 많은 스타트 업 블록 체인 회사가 판매 및 소개를 위해 고문과 컨설턴트에만 의존했다고 언급했고 기업들이 기술 분야에 대한 실제 경험이없고 블록 체인 공간에 깊이 들어 가지 않았기 때문에 기업들은 현명하게 선택해야하며 무작위 약속에 속지 않아야한다고 다시 경고했다.

마지막으로 그는 전체 참가자에게 ‘Pragmatic(실용주의)’ 한단어로 연설 요약했다. 현실적이고 실용적인 것만이 새로운 길을 열어 줄 것이다.

앤디 리안은 정부를 위한 자문 업무로 유명하고, 아시아 태평양 지역의 생산성 향상에 전념하는 정부 간 조직인 아시아 생산성기구 (APO)의 블록 체인 고문으로서 중추적 인 역할을 담당한다.

그는 스마트 공장 전반에 걸친 사이버 보안 및 IoT 네트워크 데이터 무결성에서 블록 체인 기술의 최신 개념과 응용에 대해 사무국에 조언하고 생산성에 적용 할 수있는 블록 체인 기술에 대한 기술 지원을 한다. APO 회원에는 방글라데시, 캄보디아, 중국, 피지, 홍콩, 인도, 인도네시아,이란 이슬람 공화국, 일본, 대한민국, 라오스, 말레이시아, 몽골, 네팔, 파키스탄, 필리핀, 싱가포르, 스리랑카, 태국, 그리고 베트남이 포함된다.

앤디는 또한 대한민국 정부의 경상북도 블록 체인 특별위원회의 일원으로 브록 피어스 (비트 코인 재단 회장) 및 알렉시스 시르 키아 (옐로우 닷컴 창립자)와 같은 업계 전문가들과 함께 블록 체인을 사용하여 지방이 성장하도록 돕고 있다.
