TikTok ভিডিওগুলি বিপজ্জনক ম্যালওয়্যার আক্রমণগুলি লুকানোর জন্য ব্যবহার করা হচ্ছে: কীভাবে নিরাপদ থাকবেন তা এখানে
TikTok videos are tricking users into running malicious commands disguised as software activators. The Aura Stealer malware steals passwords, cookies, and crypto wallet data from infected systems. Avoid suspicious links, use official software, and keep your security tools up to date. A scary clickfix malware attack is now targeting TikTok users, deceiving them into installing infostealers and potentially losing sensitive files, account access, and even money.
Security researchers, including Trend Micro, Xavier Mertens, and others, have observed several TikTok videos providing instructions on how to “activate” popular software like Windows, Microsoft 365, and Adobe Premiere. In some instances, the videos instruct viewers on activating product packages that don’t even exist, such as Netflix or Spotify.
The “activation” is a common clickfix trick: users are prompted to copy and paste a command into Windows Run, which is actually a malicious PowerShell command that deploys and runs Aura Stealer.

Aura Stealer is an information-stealing malware that captures passwords saved in browsers, authentication cookies, cryptocurrency wallet data, and credentials from other applications. Xavier Mertens added that the ClickFix code downloads additional malware, the purpose of which is currently unclear.
Clickfix as a scam method has been around for decades. It fools people into thinking their computers have a problem and then offers a quick and easy solution. It started with browser pop-ups in the early 2000s, when the scams revolved around fake virus notifications. Lately, ClickFix has evolved and is now scamming people with fake “locked” documents, exclusive offers, software activators, etc.
To stay safe, be suspicious of random links or buttons in emails or websites, especially those asking you for urgent fixes or updates. Always visit official sites and use legitimate software. Also, ensure your browser, operating system, and security software are up to date, and use a reliable ad blocker (if possible).
