A group of miscreants tracked as UNC6032 is exploiting interest in AI video generators by planting malicious ads on social media platforms to steal credentials, credit card details, and other sensitive info, according to Mandiant.
The Google-owned threat hunters identified thousands of malicious ads on Facebook and about 10 on LinkedIn since November 2024. These ads directed viewers to more than 30 phony websites masquerading as legitimate AI video generator tools, including Luma AI, Canva Dream Lab, and Kling AI, falsely promising text- and image-to-video generation.
