Google warns of Vietnam-based hackers using bogus AI video generators to spread malware

Google’s Mandiant unit has discovered a network of fraudulent websites masquerading as AI video generators that are being used by cybercriminals to spread infostealers and other types of malware. The culprits created social media ads promoting the fake AI tools to lure people into providing prompts that trigger the delivery of a malware strain known as STARKVEIL. This malware steals data and creates a backdoor for the hackers. The campaign, believed to be based in Vietnam, has been active since mid-2024.
