🕵‍♂️ Blackmailing bloggers and a hidden miner: a new cyberattack in Russia

🔗 Attackers use YouTube bloggers
Cybercriminals trick them into posting links to malicious files, disguising them as tools to bypass blocking. One of the affected channels has gained 400,000 views.

⚔️ Blackmail through complaints
Attackers threaten bloggers with deleting their channels by faking copyright infringement complaints. In exchange, they demand that they post infected links, and some authors agree, not even suspecting the consequences.

💻 SilentCryptoMiner steals power
Those who downloaded the malicious archive are turning their PCs into crypto farms for criminals without even knowing it. According to experts, the malicious files have already been downloaded more than 40 thousand times.
