A sophisticated phishing campaign is targeting YouTube creators using convincing fake copyright strike notifications. The attack dynamically pulls real channel data including profile pictures, subscriber counts, and recent videos to create personalized scare pages. Victims are funneled through a Browser-in-the-Browser attack displaying a fake Google sign-in that captures credentials. The operation functions as phishing-as-a-service, with multiple attackers sharing infrastructure and rotating domains to evade detection. Successful attacks result in complete Google account takeover, allowing hijackers to rebrand channels and livestream cryptocurrency scams to existing audiences. The kit automatically exempts channels with over three million subscribers to avoid detection by security teams.
