A recent global phishing campaign has targeted YouTube creators, with reports indicating that malware is being hidden in fake business proposals. The campaign is part of a broader trend of credential-stealing threats affecting content creators on the platform. Security analyses have highlighted a surge in password attacks, particularly against macOS users, coinciding with the recent rise in Bitcoin prices. Experts emphasize the need for specific mitigation strategies to combat these threats, particularly those related to Google services like Calendar and Gmail. The situation has prompted discussions about the security implications of new tools like XMail, proposed by Elon Musk, as well as ongoing concerns regarding existing email services.
