A disturbing trend is rapidly spreading across Facebook and Telegram, using sensational captions such as “Gold Medalist Leaked Obscene Couple Bed Scene” to lure users into clicking malicious links.
What appears to be a viral scandal video involving a Pinay influencer is, in reality, a carefully designed phishing and malware campaign aimed at stealing social media credentials.
Several users have reported being tagged in posts that feature images of a young woman identified online as Zyan Cabrera, paired with blurred or explicit thumbnails and captions promising access to a “viral gold medalist scandal MMS.”
These posts are often shared by pages with generic names or from accounts that have already been compromised, which helps the scam spread quickly and appear more believable.
The scam follows a classic bait-and-switch pattern. On one side of the image, there is an innocent dance clip taken from public social media profiles. On the other side, there is unrelated explicit imagery meant to trigger curiosity.
The caption encourages users to click a link to watch the so-called full video. However, instead of leading to any video, the link redirects users to a fake Facebook login page that asks them to sign in to verify their age or continue watching.
In some cases, users are prompted to download a fake video player or app that may contain spyware capable of stealing data from their device.
Cybersecurity observers explain that the use of the term “Gold Medalist” is not accidental. This is a tactic known as SEO poisoning.
With global searches often spiking around major sporting events and medal winners, scammers attach the term to explicit-sounding posts to ride on trending search traffic, bypass platform filters that block adult keywords, and create confusion among users who assume the content is linked to a real news event.
The label has no connection to any real athlete or achievement and is purely a digital trap.
There is no evidence of any genuine scandal video. Harmless clips are taken from public profiles and combined with unrelated or even AI-generated explicit thumbnails to deceive viewers. The entire narrative is fictional and designed only to push users toward the malicious link.
Those who fall for the trap risk losing access to their Facebook or Instagram accounts, unknowingly spreading the same scam to their friends, or installing malware that can harvest personal data. The rapid spread of such posts highlights how easily curiosity and impulsive clicking can be exploited on social media platforms.
If you encounter such posts, the safest response is to avoid clicking the link, refrain from sharing the post even as a joke, report it as spam or inappropriate content, and privately inform friends if their account appears to be sharing it.
The so-called “Gold Medalist” leaked video is not a scandal story but a cybercrime strategy. By mixing innocent content with shocking claims, scammers are exploiting user curiosity to compromise thousands of accounts.
Staying cautious, ignoring sensational links, and reporting suspicious posts remain the best defenses against this growing online threat.
