They’ll wipe out your bank account. No, it’s not a joke
Despite the passage of time, the saying “curiosity is the first step to hell” does not lose its meaning. All you have to do is look for materials about a certain young actress to expose yourself to danger.
Pop culture has always had a strong influence on people’s everyday lives, being able to decide what is fashionable and what is not. Therefore, no one should be surprised that millions of people around the world follow the actions of stars with interest. However, it’s not always about the latest gossip.
In fact, the files available on the Internet are malware
As reported by Kotaku, it is a current “hit” in American cinematography Sydney Sweeneyknown, among others, from this year’s film “Madam Web” or a slightly older series “Euphoria”. However, it is not about the actress’s private life or her latest works, but… her breasts.
In the last issue “Saturday Night Live” Sydney became famous for her extremely bold neckline. For some people, it was proof of the actress’s courage, while others simply wanted to take a closer look at the American’s strengths. This wouldn’t be a topic for Telepolis if it weren’t for the fact that Cybercriminals decided to take advantage of the situation.
One of the most popular tags on the X platform (formerly Twitter) is “Sydney Sweeney Leak”, which allegedly includes an “actress’s sex tape.” In reality though all links either lead directly to an infected archive with malwareor move the visitor between pages with advertisements.
This is not the first situation of this type. It looked similar earlier, e.g. with materials from Taylor Swift created with the help of technology deepfake. In its case, the source was also the X platform, which has been struggling with the problem of bots, scams and other frauds since it was taken over by Elon Musk.
What is the solution to this problem? On the X side – better content moderation, which will respond faster (at all?). In the case of users, it is recommended to look for this type of material on dedicated and proven websites such as PornHub, Redtube or Xvideos. Or just use your imagination…
