Threat actors target home users with information-stealing malware like Vidar, StealC, and Lumma Stealer, which disguises the malware as pirated software and video game cracks in YouTube videos.  The videos appear to instruct users on obtaining free software or game upgrades. Still, a link in the description leads to malware, where the attackers compromise legitimate accounts or create new ones specifically to distribute the malware.  An example of a verified YouTube account with a large following, is suspected to be compromised.
