Looks like orangefren and anhdres were targeted.

Some drama in the Monero community today as two cakewallet partners (that we know of) were contacted by a hacked telegram account that had previously been used to organize things on behalf of cakewallet. After the account got hacked cakewallet did not reach out to anybody to warn people about this.
The scam consisted of planning a meeting several days in advance and a deep fake webcam feed of the employee to build trust. Apparently the deep fake was gesturing towards her ear (implying the audio wasn't working) and attempted to get the targets to open malware.

@xenu is it known if this is actually an acct being hacked or just the typical scammer / impersonator shit that is all too common on Telegram? Cuz that's all this sounds like to me.

@nemesis it is a hack. Orangefren and anhdres are both long time community members who had previously worked with her with that telegram account. There was also a screenshot from ten days ago of the girl saying her telegram had been hacked, though nobody apparently knew about it.
