Although it seems they all involve forms of social engineering. The user who posted it mentioned it stole links which is an odd wording and makes me think of the programs designed for downloading YouTube videos which aren't technically malware although its a grey area legally. Also a lot of these programs do tend to fall under the potential unwanted banner. The name in the attachment is for an actual program to. Also on the subject I know the likes of steganography can be used to hide malware in an image. Could the same be done with a video and then placed on YouTube?

itman 1,659 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 YouTube scams are nothing new. Below are a couple of them: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/how-malware-started-a-bitcoin-hack-that-youtube-just-can-e2-80-99t-keep-up-with/ar-BB17JlUW https://www.leaprate.com/cryptocurrency/regulation-cryptocurrency/crypto-fraud-alert-new-trojan-horse-malware-on-youtube-bitcoin-video/ This is one reason many security forums prohibit YouTube reference link posting.
