So, next time you’re tempted by free software, remember: YouTube Lumma Malware Attacks are on the prowl. Stay safe, netizens!

Hot Take:

Youtube: where you can learn to cook, play the guitar, and apparently, download a nasty piece of malware disguised as cracked software. Hackers, bless their dark little hearts, have been craftily using the platform to distribute the Lumma infostealer, a malware that's as eager to learn your credit card information as you are to get that free, cracked software. Lumma is not just a piece of malware, it's malware-as-a-service. Think of it as the dark underbelly of the SaaS business model. Google and Lumma seem to be in a thrilling game of whack-a-mole, with Lumma constantly evolving to bypass Google's new restrictions. So, folks, remember: all that glitters is not gold, especially if it's free software on YouTube.
