Cybercriminals Use TikTok Videos to Spread Malware

Randy Cooper Season 1 Episode 7

Cybercriminals are increasingly leveraging AI-generated videos on platforms like TikTok to disseminate infostealer malware. These deceptive videos often masquerade as tutorials or promotional content, featuring AI-generated personas that appear trustworthy and familiar to viewers. Once engaged, users are directed to download malicious software such as RedLine, Raccoon, and Vidar, which are designed to extract sensitive information including passwords, banking details, and cryptocurrency wallet data. This tactic exploits the widespread trust in social media content and the persuasive nature of AI-generated avatars to enhance the effectiveness of phishing schemes.
