Cybercriminals are not asleep and use the opportunity to deceive Russians trying to speed up YouTube.
Fraudsters create and distribute applications that supposedly help to bypass restrictions.
By downloading such programs, Russians risk getting a virus, Izvestia writes.
Attackers use malicious software that helps them gain remote access to the victim's computer.
This way, for example, cybercriminals can get hold of a user’s personal data.
When downloading unlicensed applications, there is a risk of infecting your device with viruses such as Remote Access Tool and Remote Access Trojan.
Experts estimate the number of such programs in the dozens. If the situation with YouTube does not become clear, their number may increase.
Analysts note that the issue with video hosting may be resolved in the near future.
