A YouTube channel with a verification badge and 2.23 million subscribers spent the past week promoting a crypto tool that installs remote-control software on your PC.
Security researcher Luke Wilkinson published his analysis on 11 November. Two “review” videos for an app called Quant AI went up on 5 November and had about 190,000 views five days later. The app’s website tells you to install it by pasting a command into PowerShell. That command quietly sets up NetSupport Manager, a commercial remote-control program, configured so you never see it.
To make the install look like it worked, a signed “Quant” app then opens and shows a crypto dashboard.
