Torrents with Pirated TV Shows Used to Push Lumma Stealer Malware
Bitdefender has observed an increase in the number of torrents promising pirated multimedia content that also contains malware.
If you execute random, non media file formats that u got from a torrent then thats on you.
Well if you run Movie_x265_Webrip.scr the joke's on you tbh.
What really called my attention in the article is the sheer ...polish? Of the Malware-as-a-service they're using.Look at this, they advertise it like it's nothing. They even adopted that clean 3D style you often see on Chinese software. The fuck?
If the user had Bitdefender installed, he wouldn’t be able to unzip the file because the security solution would identify the threat and move it to quarantine.
Whilst this may indeed be an attack that's currently seeing a resurgence, the fact that it's a marketing article doesn't give me a lot of confidence in that.
Edit: I just noticed that your account is only 8 days old as well. I feel like that's a further indicator that this is just spam.
It an article from bitdefender. How did you not expect they would promote their service?
Doesn't matter, the threat is still real.
It can be both an ad and useful info.
I've seen this poster alot in the last 8 days
I posted it for the sake of alerting people here.
I believe that people here are smart enough to not fall for Bitdefender marketing.
I post also on the cyber security community articles from antivirus vendors that contains a valuable info, with the same belief that people won't fall for marketing.
Do you not understand that the entire thing is probably marketing, which you've fallen for? This likely isn't new news.
Who is pulling zipped shows? I would never have even considered it
