Eric's channel is like an episode of Scooby Doo, except every time the monster mask is pulled off, it's just another Lumma stealer.

Hackers are just throwing crap at the wall at this point.

[aleverettes]

This guy gets a phishing link and thinks "great! More content!"

[TheRandomFool]

Man, how nice of them to send you free content for your channel.

[Ving]

sending a phising link to a cyber security channel is just wild

[LoganDark]

why yes of course I do also hate when people assume that I haven't read the entire Digital Millennium Copyright Act

[borisvokladski]

3:18 I love the firm's address is 1100 Legal Avenue in New York. That seems legit.

[weird_autumn]

you'd think they would learn to stop sending malware to security related channels 😭

Oxyhaemoglobin is a form of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells, that has bound oxygen molecules. Hemoglobin is responsible for carrying oxygen from your lungs to the tissues and organs throughout your body. When hemoglobin binds to oxygen in the lungs, it forms oxyhaemoglobin, giving blood its bright red color. This oxygen-rich form releases oxygen where it's needed, fueling the cells for energy and other vital functions. It's a crucial player in our body's respiratory and circulatory systems!

Big thing to look is that they are hosting these files not on a webserver but a network drive ie SMB share and connecting to it like eric did when he opened the folder in explorer note the \\url\file indicates this is a SMB share and depending on the software they are using to host it there are tools mainly for pentesting that can capture your authentication to the smb share. This is usually whatever account you are logged into windows with so it would be your windowws username and a netntlmv2 password hash. Never connect to a random smb share on a pc you like

This has been super educational, on multiple fronts... 1. Reminding me about obvious scams and how to identify them. And 2. Learning about some tools to utilize to monitor these activities. Good stuff!

[emanekafecaftoggaf]

crazy how few virustotal detections these files have. programs ive made have had more false positives than that on virustotal. It's actually pretty annoying

[pcsecuritychannel]

Considering the history of this channel, this is a good targeted attack. :D

[anon_y_mousse]

I thought you meant it in the sense that they were trying to take your channel down with bullshit copyright strikes. Actually putting a malicious payload in the complaint is actually way more effective, and super evil.

[elaptc]

they seriously tried to send malware to a malware analyst 😭😭

[aydryos]

I love how the testimonial images they use on the site were generated using AI with crummy training models or the wrong training models. Definitely some uncanny valley territory. Not to mention that any downloads outside of the reports page throws a test alert telling the developer that "this is where you process this download".

[revectane]

Eric the goat isn't gonna let that slide

[pewdthedark]

I knew the email was fishy when I read "let's avoid go that far ". did they not spellcheck at all 😂

[Amonimus]

Obviously, wouldn't ContentID violations for youtube... be handled by Youtube's copyright system and not email?

[TheSillyHaxor]

i hope my toaster is okay and this wont happen
