Hackers are using AI-generated videos on TikTok to trick users into downloading infostealing malware, as warned by cybersecurity researchers Trend Micro.
The videos demonstrate fake methods to activate premium features in software like Windows, Microsoft Office, Spotify, and CapCut, spreading malicious scripts through PowerShell commands.
The malware campaign leverages TikTok's algorithm to increase visibility, with one video reaching half a million views, promoting the deployment of Vidar and StealC infostealers.
Unlike past methods where malware links were shared in descriptions, this campaign delivers malware through videos, bypassing traditional security measures and posing a significant threat to users.
