Just as Google announced Chrome would let you change compromised passwords automatically, we learned of another huge login credentials dump that made its way online. Over 184 million accounts were exposed online.
Plenty of people have been the victims of this attack, and there might be even more in the future. Their computers might be running some form of infostealer malware that can steal sensitive data, including usernames and passwords.
It’s paramount to avoid downloading shady content from the web or opening attachments from untrusted senders on your computer. Similarly, you might want to avoid installing apps from unofficial sources on any of your electronic devices.
It turns out that even if you do all that, you might not be safe. Some hackers figured out a way to use AI-generated videos on TikTok to install infostealers on Windows 11 PCs, and their method is absolutely brilliant. The AI didn’t create the malware; it just narrates instructions in clips, which will convince users to download the malware themselves.
