Beware! Hackers Use YouTube Channels Deliver Lumma Malware

Hackers are using YouTube channels and the platform’s vast user base to distribute malware. Cybersecurity researchers at Fortinet have identified the spread of Lumma malware through channels that appear to be legitimate, using the trust that users have in the platform. The fake videos created by the threat actors contain links to a private “.NET” loader for Lumma Stealer malware. Cybersecurity experts recommend vigilance concerning unknown app sources, the use of legitimate apps, and double-checking app security.
