Hackers have built a whole website and set up companies using AI to make the malware appear harmless.

Hackers set up fake company websites complete with AI -generated blogs, product content and social media accounts on platforms like Twitter and Medium .

Once victims are sent to the "Meeten" website, they’re given the option to download the software.

Once they do, it steals their personal data and cryptocurrency.

By reducing the number of passwords you need to recall, you’re less likely to reuse them, which lowers the risk of security breaches.

Invest in personal data removal services: Consider services that scrub your data from public databases.

For video calls, stick to well-known and trusted platforms like Zoom , FaceTime, Google Meet and Webex.
