The 2026 Winter Olympics commenced last week and already various stories have been linked to the major sports event. One such story hails from the Philippines, and it involves a young online personality named Zyan Cabrera, who also goes by the moniker Jerriel Cry4zee on some of her social media accounts.

Cabrera and her unnamed boyfriend went viral after an alleged video of them engaged in intimate acts was released online. It was later revealed that Cabrera's name was dragged into the Winter Olympics after phishing scams falsely labelled her a gold medallist. While the videos appeared to be legitimate, it remains unclear if they're genuine, especially with the advent of high-end technologies and AI-generated content.

An Important Day

One of Cabrera's photos with her boyfriend shows the two after what looks like her recognition or graduation day. The rumoured 'Pinay Gold Medallist' is wearing a green sash in the snap, taken at what appears to be a gymnasium. It's unclear where she went to school.

Matching Outfits

Another photo shows the couple posing for the camera in matching blue outfits at one of the clothing stores in the Philippines. In the photo, Cabrera's boyfriend carefully placed his arm around the viral social media personality with their faces close to each other.

Night Out

Cabrera and her boyfriend also went on a date one night, photographed riding a vehicle with a sunroof. The photo shows the young woman's boyfriend with his arms wrapped around her waist, both wearing light-coloured outfits during their date night.

Beach Day

The couple also went to the beach recently, and judging from photos uploaded on Zyan Cabrera's Facebook account, they seemed to have a wonderful time. One snap shows the two standing a few feet away from each other, whilst another shows them embracing.

Gold Medal Photos

Perhaps one of the photos that sparked speculations that Cabrera is a gold medallist had to do with a snap she posted wearing one. In the picture, she and her boyfriend are both wearing a gold medal around their necks, but there's no indication they came from the Olympics. This image became central to the phishing scam that falsely linked her to Olympic achievement.

Other Important Things to Know

Cabrera and her boyfriend are indeed going viral at the moment due to alleged intimate videos. However, it's important to remember that clicking on links to their controversial videos is part of an ongoing phishing scam designed to steal personal information and hack social media accounts. Not only is clicking the link dangerous for other online users, it also helps promote a controversy that has already been debunked.

Since the term 'Pinay Gold Medalist' went viral without netizens first fact-checking if the information was correct, it's possible that the young couple's videos could have also been altered or generated using AI tools. Stay vigilant and avoid engaging with unverified content that could compromise your security.
