The official Dota 2 YouTube channel of gaming giant Valve was recently compromised by scammers in order to promote a bogus Solana-based meme cryptocurrency called "dota2coin."
A screenshot shared by popular VR enthusiast and hardware analyst Brad Lynch shows a livestream announcing the official launch of the fraudulent token on the Pump.fun meme coin factory.

Notably, the official YouTube channels of ESL (Electronic Sports League) and the BLAST Premier circuit (a tournament system focused on CS:GO) also got hacked around the same time.
Some users suspect that this was a coordinated and rather sophisticated attack.
Notably, this coincided with the video-hosting giant experiencing a massive outage earlier today.
