CBS warns about fake Wozniaks using a Disney animatronic

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak appeared on CBS News to discuss cryptocurrency fraud schemes that exploit his reputation. Criminals create fake videos using his likeness to promote Bitcoin scams, where victims send money with promises of doubled returns. Wozniak previously sued YouTube over similar deceptive content in 2020, though courts dismissed the case without resolution the following year. CBS inadvertently used an animatronic figure from Disney World's EPCOT attraction rather than an actual photograph of Wozniak during the broadcast segment. This error highlights the difficulty in distinguishing authentic digital content from deepfakes and manipulated images that proliferate across media platforms.
