YouTube content creators under attack from automated YTStealer account takeover campaign
" A credential harvester focused entirely on gaining control of YouTube creator accounts, be they of 'influencer' follower proportions or small fishes in this incredibly large content creation sea. Once this account compromise as a service malware has harvested the credentials, it's up to the customer what they do with them: high-value accounts could be sold at profit or compromised in order to spam or spread further malware.
Then Intezer report discovered that game mods and trainers, or cheats if you prefer, were one of the target groups where YTStealer was dropped in the guise of an installer or a genuine application. These included various hacks for Counter-Strike Go, Call of Duty, and Roblox. Unsurprisingly, audio and video editing was another, with fake installers for the likes of Adobe Premiere Pro and Ableton Live 11 Suite among them.
