I got malware from downloading some sketchy software once. They gained access to my old RUclips account and uploaded about 50 of those malware videos, all advertised as free cheats. My RUclips account was later banned. I had hundreds of private videos on there back from my childhood when I did some electronic content creation. It held a lot of core memories. I contacted RUclips and they said they wont do anything as they had no proof that it was someone else uploading the videos and not me. It's truly a shame.
If there are 400 emojis in the title, with terrible English and 15 similar videos talking about cheats with similar style of editing and of course, a Google Drive or MediaFire link with a password-protected ZIP file, that is the BIGGEST red flag.
Great in depth video for something that's a massive problem on RUclips, yet a small amount of people seems to raise awareness for it. Keep up the great work!
I pushed all of them behind the scenes to RUclips, someone in threat intel also did for "Download-Links". I wouldn't be surprised if RUclips curtail about links for new channels outright.
Google needs to take responsibility, a multi billion corporation should be on this issue with these scam channels. Then again they can’t even keep a browser secure -_-
Years ago on a random fps game a guy on my friends list I had known for maybe a week sent me a link for cheats. I was 13 and thought it would be fun to just kill everyone. It wasn't a virus and my account was never banned. I guess I was very lucky. It got pretty boring after a few days and I've never cheated in another game since. I'm still pretty ashamed of myself haha
@@Cainny It was the family laptop I got to use for like one hour every night. So he wouldn't have gotten much of a show... I'm still surprised that I've never gotten an obvious virus or malware or whatever over the years. I've visited so many sketchy websites and downloaded lots of stuff. Maybe I'm still being watched
As you say, the issue is that RUclips only treat the symptom of the problem (the accounts surfacing the links) and not the root cause (the links themselves). If you can write python code to find the videos and links, I’m not sure why RUclips can’t do it.
Immediate red flags: - Password protected zip file (antivirus detection) - Download from mediafire or megaupload - 1 million emojis in title - terrible english - shit editing - "open source" repos that just download a closed source program (just exec a fetch or something) Also a message to all the "hackers" out there looking for cheats, get good, and I am guaranteeing you that one day, legal action will be taken against individuals who cheat in video games.

What's interesting to me about the skyblock ones specifically though is that the people distributing the malware create hundreds of fake youtube channels of real players in the game, using there ign and pfp to make it look more trustworthy.
I thought of what might prevent bad actor channels. Make it so you can't interact on RUclips in any way for 30 days other then watch videos on a new account. No comments, no uploads, no way to change your channel banner or name. Nothing!
That does nothing. So they have to wait 30 days so what? They wait 30 days. And in the mean time they make a bunch of other accounts so their 30 day timer will already be in progress and ready to go by the time they are done with the first one.

Mediafire download isn’t really suspicious. Shitty English and editing is slightly suspicious, but not necessarily extremely suspicious.

Make a video on how to setup a VM like yours and what you most use for hunting.
I remember downloading a „trainer“ for Star Wars Battlefront 2 when I was a child. Thinking back, I wonder what kind of virus I installed back then😂

learn cpp and make your own cheats but not for online only private so when youre interested whats behind the cheats before downloading malware
