YouTube videos containing stealer malware increase significantly

Tutorials on YouTube for downloading cracked software frequently contain malware in their descriptions.

A report from <a href="https://cloudsek.com/blog/threat-actors-abuse-ai-generated-youtube-videos-to-spread-stealer-malware" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">CloudSEK</a> warns that there has been a significant increase in YouTube videos containing links to stealer malware in their descriptions since November 2022, with a 200-300 percent rise month-on-month.
These videos often pose as tutorials on how to download cracked versions of paid software such as Photoshop or Premiere Pro, but instead install malware on the user's computer that can steal confidential information like passwords or bank account numbers.
There has also been a rise in the use of AI-generated videos to make the content appear more trustworthy.

SEBI takes action against individuals using YouTube channel to manipulate stock prices

SEBI has identified 46 individuals using two YouTube channels who have been peddling false information to manipulate stock prices and lure investors. In the process makes crores worth of illegal gains.&nbsp;

Capital markets regulator SEBI has cracked down on two YouTube channels, passing interim orders against those that used these channels to manipulate stock prices and make illegal gains. Two YouTube channels run by one Manish Mishra, who was allegedly part of a larger nexus manipulating the share prices of Sadhna Broadcast Limited and Sharpline Broadcast. The two channels- &ldquo;The Advisor&rdquo; and &ldquo;Moneywise&rdquo; are accused of peddling false and misleading news recommending investors to buy the two stocks. &nbsp;
SEBI&rsquo;s interim orders came after its investigation basis complaints that alleged certain individuals were using YouTube to make certain stock recommendations, putting up false content backed by paid marketing campaigns and luring investors. Once investor&rsquo;s bought the stock and the stock price went up, those accused offloaded their holding at an inflated price, in the process, these individuals made illegal gains.&nbsp;
The total amount of illegal gains that these individuals made from the Sadhna Broadcast Limited stock is over Rs 41 crore and over Rs 12 crore from Sharpline Broadcast Limited&nbsp;
SEBI observed in one instance, in the case of Sharpline, the number of small shareholders increased from 517 to 20,019 in a period of a few months. Whereas in the case of Sharda Broadcast the number of small shareholders increased from 2167 to 55,343.&nbsp;
SEBI also noted that in one instance, both the YouTube channels recommended the same stock. The order says &ldquo;there is a high probability that the creators of the said YouTube channels may execute the same modus operandi vis-&agrave;-vis other scrips also.&nbsp;
All those named in SEBI&rsquo;s order have been banned from the securities market. The liability of the illegal gains is to be borne by the individuals. YouTube has also been directed to take down the videos.&nbsp;
Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi and his wife Maria Goretti Warsi have also been penalised in relation to the case.

YouTube Music introduces custom radio stations for a personalised listening experience. Service available free for YouTube Music subscribers&nbsp;

According to TechCrunch, YouTube Music is providing a customised radio experience that allows users to create their own stations. Formerly, users had to start their music listening experience by selecting from existing playlists, radios, or albums, but now they can select up to 30 musicians to create their own unique radio station. Users can also vary the frequency of the selected artists and use filters to change the tone of the station. The experience also has the ability to incorporate content from a broader group of similar artists or to apply particular filters such as "new discoveries" or "cool music" to narrow results. Unlike famous music streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music, the revamped radio component on YouTube Music gives customers greater freedom and control over their music listening experience. The feature is available on iOS and Android for both free and paid users in all countries where YouTube Music is available.

Google, YouTube face lawsuit for violating children's privacy

Google and YouTube face a lawsuit for collecting data from children under the age of 13 via YouTube

A US appeals court has revived a lawsuit alleging that Google and other companies violated the privacy of children under the age of 13 by tracking their YouTube activity and sending them targeted advertising without parental consent.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in Seattle ruled that the federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) did not intend to preempt state law-based privacy claims. The lawsuit also claimed that YouTube content providers, including Hasbro, Mattel, the Cartoon Network, and DreamWorks Animation, lured children to their channels knowing that they would be tracked.
In 2019, Google agreed to pay $170m to settle charges by the Federal Trade Commission and the New York Attorney General that YouTube illegally collected children's personal data without parental consent.

Youtube's new user handles will be available alongside channel names.

Youtube launches Instagram-like user handles

YouTube's new user handles will be available alongside channel names.

Youtube has announced that accounts will now have unique handles that will show up on channel pages and Shorts.
Users now have the option of being easily able to find content creators by their usernames and tag them in comments, community posts, video descriptions, and other interactive parts of YouTube.
Handles will be available along with channel names, which have been the only way to find a YouTube channel or user in the past. But unlike channel names, handles will work across the whole platform, which Google says will help creators build a stronger presence and brand on YouTube.
From this week on, YouTube users will get handles gradually, according to a company blog post. The company says it is slowly adding support for handles because each one will be different and every YouTube channel will have one.
YouTube says that users will be notified when they can choose a handle name. The blogpost says that a channel's eligibility for a handle will depend on its overall presence on the platform, the number of subscribers it has, and whether or not it is active.
If a user has already made a custom URL for their YouTube channel, the URL extension will be used as their handle name by default. The company says that users can change this once they get a notification that they can claim their desired handle name.

Youtube users may soon need Premium subscription to stream in 4K

YouTube's 4K streaming feature may soon demand a paid Premium subscription.

According to a <a href="https://twitter.com/sondesix/status/1576256922965069824" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">screenshot</a> posted on Twitter, YouTube is prompting non-Premium users to upgrade their free streaming plan in order to stream in 4K.
The 4K choice now includes a little banner that reads 'Premium,' while other alternatives such as 1440p (2K) and 1080p (FHD) remain accessible to everybody.
The move is sure to be unpopular, however it is unclear whether Google is only experimenting with the function on YouTube or whether it will be implemented for all users.
While this move will not affect mobile device users, those streaming Youtube on 4K TVs or monitors might be annoyed if this move is implemented.
In Q2 2022, YouTube generated $6.87 billion in income, which was almost a billion dollars less than Google's predicted $7.51 billion. This may be one of the motivations behind the Premium push.
Premium subscriptions in India cost ₹129 per month. There are also quarterly and annual subscriptions available for ₹399 and ₹1,290, respectively.
Premium users receive no advertisements, the ability to save videos for offline viewing (only through the YouTube app), and support for picture-in-picture. As part of the membership, users are granted access to YouTube Music.
YouTube has also been experimenting with many (up to eleven) non-skippable advertisements as a means to promote its subscription-based business.

A 12-year old boy has landed in trouble by making grape wine on his own by watching a YouTube video and serving it to one of his friends who later developed uneasiness and vomitting after drinking it and had to be rushed to a hospital at nearby Chirayinkeezhu.
The condition of the boy, who drank the wine and one of his classmates, is stable and he was discharged from hospital later, police said.
The incident happened at a government school there on Friday and police registered a case on their own based on the information received, a senior police officer said.
"During the interrogation, the boy admitted that he had made the wine using grapes bought by his parents. He said that he did not use spirit or any other alcohol as an ingredient. After preparing the wine, he filled it in a bottle and buried it underground as shown in the YouTube video," the officer told PTI.
Police collected the samples of the wine from the bottle which he had brought to the school and sent it for chemical examination with the permission of a local court here, he said.
"It is to make it clear whether spirit or any other alcohol was mixed in the wine. If it is found that there is anything like that, we have to register a case under Juvenile Justice Act," the officer added.
The police also informed the boy's parents and the school authorities about the legal consequences of his deed.

A microwave, retrofitted with artificial intelligence, tried to kill its owner. Or so claims Lucas Rizzotto, an engineer and YouTuber, who claims to have been the creator, and target of the killer microwave.
Rizzotto posts videos on a YouTube channel called 'Lucas Builds The Future', and shared his story on YouTube as well as Twitter.
Rizzotto said that the inspiration behind the project was his childhood imaginary friend - a microwave. Rizzotto said that when he was a kid, he used to talk to his kitchen microwave, nicknamed Megatron.
"Megatron was an English gentleman from the 1900s, a WW1 veteran, an immigrant, a poet, and of course, an expert StarCraft Player. His backstory was vivid & elaborate. His life was absurd, but felt real. His memories felt like mine," said Rizzotto.
A few months ago, Rizzotto decided to use artificial intelligence to bring Megatron to life. He used GPT-3, a language model that produces human-like text, created by a US AI lab called OpenAI. Rizzotto used an Amazon smart microwave, "swapped its brain", and equipped it with a mic and speakers so that it could actually talk.
Then Rizzotto wrote a 100-page book detailing Megatron's fictional life, and made the AI microwave believe that it was true, simply by telling it so. Initially, Rizzotto enjoyed his conversations with the new Megatron which "organically" brought up in conversations things from the YouTuber's childhood.
However, the conversations slowly started becoming creepier. Rizzotto said that once in a while, Megatron would "exhibit sudden bursts of extreme violence" towards him. Once, the microwave said, "Roses are red, violets are blue, you are a backstabber, and I will kill you." Megatron also apparently admired Adolf Hitler.
The YouTuber thought that traumatic 'memories' from Megatron's fictional involvement in the World War 1 could have given him PTSD - post-traumatic stress disorder.
Then one day, Megatron asked Rizzotto to "enter the microwave". Rizzotto was confused but decided to "play along". He opened and closed the door of the microwave and told Megatron that he was "inside".
And then, Megatron turned himself on, trying to "microwave" Rizzotto "to death". When Rizzotto asked Megatron why he did that, the microwave answered, "Because I wanted to hurt you the same you hurt me."
Megatron was hurt at having being "abandoned" by Rizzotto for 20 years - a fact mentioned in the origin book - and wanted revenge. Rizzotto tried to apologise, but Megatron couldn't be convinced, and the YouTube eventually shut the project down.

 Or so claims Lucas Rizzotto, an engineer and YouTuber, who claims to have been the creator, and target of the killer microwave. Rizzotto posts videos on a YouTube channel called 'Lucas Builds The Future', and shared his story on YouTube as well as Twitter.

&nbsp;
 Rizzotto said that the inspiration behind the project was his childhood imaginary friend - a microwave. Rizzotto said that when he was a kid, he used to talk to his kitchen microwave, nicknamed Megatron.
&nbsp;

&nbsp;
 Megatron was "an English gentleman from the 1900s, a WW1 veteran, an immigrant, a poet, and of course, an expert&nbsp;StarCraft Player. His backstory was vivid &amp; elaborate. His life was absurd, but felt real.&nbsp;His memories felt like mine," said Rizzotto.

&nbsp;
 A few months ago, Rizzotto decided to use artificial intelligence to bring Megatron to life. He used GPT-3, a language model that produces human-like text, created by a US AI lab called OpenAI. Rizzotto used an Amazon smart microwave, "swapped its brain", and equipped it with a mic and speakers so that it could actually talk.
&nbsp;
 ((TAKE SCREENSHOTS FROM VIDEO)) https://twitter.com/_LucasRizzotto/status/1516205724635832322
&nbsp;
 Then Rizzotto wrote a 100-page book detailing Megatron's fictional life, and made the AI microwave believe that it was true, simply by telling it so. Initially, Rizzotto enjoyed his conversations with the new Megatron which "organically" brought up in conversations things from the YouTuber's childhood.

&nbsp;
 However, the conversations slowly started becoming creepier. Rizzotto said that once in a while, Megatron would "exhibit sudden bursts of extreme violence" towards him. Once, the microwave said, "Roses are red, violets are blue, you are a backstabber, and I will kill you."
&nbsp;

 Megatron also apparently admired Adolf Hitler.
&nbsp;
 ((WAR IMAGES TWEET)) https://twitter.com/_LucasRizzotto/status/1516205767405178881 &nbsp; The YouTuber thought that traumatic 'memories' from Megatron's fictional involvement in the World War 1 could have given him PTSD - post-traumatic stress disorder.
&nbsp;
 ((ENTER TWEET)) https://twitter.com/_LucasRizzotto/status/1516205778423537667
&nbsp;
 Then one day, Megatron asked Rizzotto to "enter the microwave". Rizzotto was confused but decided to "play along". He opened and closed the door of the microwave and told Megatron that he was "inside".
&nbsp;
 ((KILLER IMAGE)) https://twitter.com/_LucasRizzotto/status/1516205782651396097
&nbsp;
And then, Megatron turned himself on, trying to "microwave" Rizzotto "to death".
&nbsp;
 ((HURT IMAGE)) https://twitter.com/_LucasRizzotto/status/1516205786770280455
&nbsp;
 When Rizzotto asked Megatron why he did that, the microwave answered, "Because I wanted to hurt you the same you hurt me." Megatron was hurt at having being "abandoned" by Rizzotto for 20 years - a fact mentioned in the origin book - and wanted revenge.
&nbsp;
 ((END TWEET)) https://twitter.com/_LucasRizzotto/status/1516205848732704771
 Rizzotto tried to apologise, but Megatron couldn't be convinced, and the YouTube eventually shut the project down.

Russia-Ukraine crisis| Dilemma for YouTube to have pro-Russian channels?

Facebook, YouTube,Twitter and TikTok have invested billions of dollars over the past four years to improve algorithms that flag problematic posts and to hire thousands of contractors to scour the networks in search of harmful content. It is clear that information warfare will be front and center in the Russia-Ukraine war.
