FAKE Sponsors are trying to get YouTubers HACKED!

YouTubers get a lot of bogus sponsorships, it's the industry norm. And now malicious sponsorships are becoming the norm as well. In this video I'll show you an email hacking attempt that tries to get me downloading a fake MP4 file that contains RedLine stealer!

Are my passwords safe? Will I become a crypto shill? Who knows!

C&BT Company sounds like the evil twin of Manscaped

Someone just tried to scam an anti-scam channel.

Such a great idea

Thanks for spreading awareness that malware can escape virtual machines. It's suggested WAY too often that it's safe to test malware in any old virtual machine program, when that couldn't be any more false.

This emailing method is really unsafe. I know a website, where you can create tests and set up an mail address to receive the test results. They implemented it in vanilla js on the client side, just hiding a form inside the html, and when you complete the test, it submits it. It was autofilled with the teacher's email, exposing that too. But I can also submit it, with any email addresses, content (including HTML and CSS), title, everything. I could've sent a teacher anything, a really legit looking fake login to get her password, which probably grants access to her personal

i’m so glad i have 60 subs and will immediately be suspicious of any sponsorships

3:56 I understand that, also play genshin impact for over a year and wouldn't even think of losing it, unless if for something really important.

Learned about Scr files being ran as Exe files from an old old channel called RogueAmp which ironically use this to help remove Rogue AVs by bypassing the ending of certain processes but only in the exe format

Love how all your videos end like a love letter

[LittleBlueGamer]

This is the reason why I’m not gonna get my vids sponsored when I become a big YouTuber. I’m trying to protect myself from [FAKE SPONSORS]
I'm also scared of the scam sponsors, i do trust a few companies, but ill never trust that fake one.

[winlogon.]

6:40 I will make a VM in a VM in a VM on Arch Linux on a burner computer so that I can check if it is really secure.

esoteric inc with 700 thousand subscribers was hacked a year ago ;( and youtube refused to return his channel and he gave every proof possible

[LenusJaguar]

My dad sends me an link of a happy new year gif.
Me: NTTS said no

[SSuser-gojm]

A cc I watch with around 10k subs got scammed by somebody pretending to be Team Cherry (creators of Hollow Knight). Pretty clear he didn’t know who they were.

[MrFuzji]

The reason its coming up as nothing in virustotal is because the archive is password encrypted and anti-virus software cannot scan anything in the archive. If you wanted a more accurate scan you would have to add the files in the archive to a new zip with no passwords and rescan
