These YouTube Accounts Are Spreading Malware Through Videos

Cybersecurity firm Fortinet reports that Lumma Stealer malware, which can compromise crypto wallets and acquire private data, is being promoted through YouTube videos under the guise of user guides for cracked software. These provide links to obscured URLs which host the malware. Criminals are utilising open source platforms like GitHub rather than private servers, reducing their exposure risk. The malware, potentially developed by notorious criminal Shamel, can be purchased for approximately $150 per month and can infect a user’s system without detection.
