A Vietnam-based hacking group (UNC6032) created fake AI-powered video generator websites and promoted them via malicious ads on social media. These websites distributed malware (STARKVEIL) that steals user credentials, cookies, credit card data, and Facebook information. The campaign ran from mid-2024, impacting users globally. The hackers used Facebook pages and compromised accounts to publish ads, reaching millions of users. The malicious domains were rotated to avoid detection.
