Cybercriminals from Vietnam disguise viruses as AI video generators
A new threat has appeared on social networks. These are fake advertisements for video generation services based on artificial intelligence. A group of Google Mandiant researchers discovered a large-scale advertising campaign from cybercriminals from Vietnam. Who use people’s interest in artificial intelligence tools to spread malicious software. Experts identified thousands of advertising posts with fake sites supposedly “artificial intelligence-based video generators”. Which actually spread viruses, including Python-based information stealers and various remote access programs to your device. Criminals disguise themselves as legitimate services such as Canva Dream Lab, Luma AI and Kling AI to deceive users. According to researchers, these fake advertisements have already reached more than 3 million Facebook and LinkedIn users. Although Google suggests that similar campaigns may be launched on other social networks. Google Mandiant researchers warn, I quote. “These artificial intelligence tools are now targeting not only graphic designers. Anyone can fall for an outwardly harmless advertisement”. To protect themselves, specialists recommend carefully checking all advertisements on social networks and manually entering program names into search engines before downloading, to ensure source legitimacy.
