Ripple CTO David Schwartz recently flagged an impersonation scam involving Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse. The warning was issued after an X user tweeted a fake video of Garlinghouse, highlighting future plans for XRP. Schwartz promptly responded with a "scam alert" GIF, urging caution within the XRP community.Scammers often use deepfakes to create convincing fake videos featuring high-profile figures like Garlinghouse. These videos are then used to promote fraudulent websites and crypto wallets, with the intent to steal funds from unsuspecting users. Schwartz's warning serves as a reminder to always be vigilant when sharing financial details, even if the request appears to come from a reliable source.
Ripple has taken proactive measures to combat these scams by joining TRM Labs' real-time crypto crime response network, Beacon. This network enables real-time monitoring and response to crypto-related crimes, helping to protect users and maintain the integrity of the crypto ecosystem.
