"Warning: AI-generated YouTube Video Tutorials Spreading Infostealer Malware"

Threat actors have been spotted using Artificial Intelligence (AI)-generated YouTube videos to spread Raccoon, RedLine, and other information stealer malware. Pavan Karthick M., a researcher at CloudSEK, explained that the videos lure users by posing as lessons on how to download cracked versions of licensed software such as Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Autodesk 3ds Max, AutoCAD, and more. In the same way that the ransomware ecosystem consists of core developers and affiliates who are responsible for identifying potential targets and executing the attacks, the information stealer ecosystem includes threat actors known as traffers who are recruited to spread the malware through various means. CloudSEK has observed a 200-300 percent month-over-month increase in the number of YouTube videos containing links to stealer malware in their descriptions. This article continues to discuss threat actors' use of AI-generated YouTube Videos to spread malware.
