Obscene Viral MMS Controversy Sparks Deepfake Clickbait Fears. (Photo: X)
A new wave of “viral MMS” claims ranging from Pakistani social media personality Alina Amir, popularly known as the Sarsarahat Girl, to the widely searched “Angel Nuzhat 12-minute video” has once again highlighted how cybercriminals weaponise curiosity to spread malware and phishing scams.
Cybersecurity experts say these so-called leaked clips are not verified scandals but carefully engineered clickbait campaigns designed to exploit trending names and manipulate search results.
In recent days, dramatic posts across X, Telegram, Instagram, and WhatsApp have circulated claims of a “private leaked video” linked to Alina Amir. The posts typically use sensational captions and blurred thumbnails to trigger clicks. However, analysts warn that these links rarely lead to actual content.
Instead, users are redirected to phishing portals, betting websites, or malicious downloads. Experts describe this as SEO poisoning, a tactic where criminals flood search engines with fake pages using trending keywords like “Alina Amir viral video” to hijack search rankings and trap users.
At the same time, searches for “Angel Nuzhat 12-minute viral MMS” have surged online. Fact-checkers and cyber experts confirm that there is no verified identity, no confirmed incident, and no authentic video attached to that name. Investigators believe “Angel Nuzhat” is likely a fabricated label created purely for clickbait purposes.
Links claiming to provide the “original video” often trigger the download of malicious files that silently install spyware. Once activated, such malware can steal banking credentials, access private photos, hijack social media accounts, and compromise personal data all without the user realising it immediately.
This pattern mirrors earlier viral hoaxes involving public figures such as Mathira Khan and Arohi Mim, where alleged obscene videos later turned out to be AI-generated deepfakes or entirely fabricated bait. Cybercrime investigators note that scammers increasingly combine real events with artificial intelligence tools to create convincing but fake narratives. The objective is not to expose a scandal but to generate traffic, clicks, and ultimately financial gain through stolen data.
Cybercriminals closely monitor trending search terms. The moment a name starts gaining traction, fake landing pages, Telegram groups, and shortened URLs are created within hours. Some operations exploit compromised educational websites in what experts call “university domain abuse,” hosting fake PDF documents filled with viral keywords.
Because educational domains are often trusted by search engines, these malicious links can appear legitimate and rank high in search results, increasing the risk to unsuspecting users.
The rise of AI-powered deepfake technology has made it easier than ever to create realistic but fake images and videos. These manipulated visuals can damage reputations, spread misinformation, and fuel cybercrime networks. Experts warn that digital voyeurism, the tendency to search for sensational “leaked” content, plays directly into the hands of scammers. Each click strengthens the cycle of viral exploitation.
Cybersecurity professionals advise users to avoid clicking on suspicious or forwarded links, especially those promising access to “full leaked videos.” It is crucial to verify viral claims through credible news outlets rather than anonymous Telegram channels or social media posts.
Enabling multi-factor authentication on all major accounts adds an extra layer of protection, while using long, unique passwords reduces the risk of hacking.
Adjusting privacy settings to limit public access to personal photos and videos can also reduce exposure to deepfake misuse. Keeping devices and software updated ensures security vulnerabilities are patched promptly. If users encounter suspicious content, reporting it to the platform and relevant cybercrime authorities can help limit its spread.
There is no confirmed “Angel Nuzhat 12-minute MMS,” and viral claims surrounding Alina Amir appear to be part of a broader deepfake-driven clickbait strategy. What seems like a scandal is, in reality, a cyber trap designed to exploit online curiosity.
In an era where misinformation spreads faster than facts, the safest response remains simple: verify before you click, avoid sharing unverified claims, and prioritise digital security over viral intrigue.
