• AI media generation is a significant trend in how we use the Internet in 2025. Kling AI is a widely used platform, with 6 million users since its launch in June 2024.
• A threat actor mimicked Kling AI and drove traffic to a convincing fake website via counterfeit Facebook pages and paid ads.
• User submissions of a text prompt or image on this fake site produce a seemingly innocent media file whose filename uses Hangul Filler characters to conceal an executable.
• In some cases, the executable’s loader used .NET Native AOT compilation for stealth. Executing it installs an infostealer with monitoring capabilities.
• This campaign has a global reach, with victims reported across multiple regions, most notably in Asia.
