The “Angel Nuzhat 12-minute MMS” has been trending across WhatsApp, Telegram, and X, with many users seeking the original video link. Posts claim the clip is leaked, shocking, or private, prompting curiosity and clicks. Cybersecurity experts, however, confirm that no such video exists. There is no verified upload, credible source, or confirmed footage. The trend is entirely a digital trap designed to manipulate curiosity and exploit users’ devices.
Researchers from Seqrite Labs and Quick Heal have identified a new malware pattern linked to this trend. Links claiming to show the “Angel Nuzhat Original Video” do not play any clip. Instead, an APK file downloads silently on Android devices, sometimes executing scripts in the background without notice. Dubbed Ghost File malware, this malicious software can record keystrokes, including UPI PINs and banking passwords, read SMS messages to intercept OTPs, forward scam links automatically to contacts, and even hijack social media accounts. Once activated, it creates a cycle of infection, spreading the scam further. Experts warn that two-factor authentication may become ineffective, leaving victims highly vulnerable.
Scammers intentionally include an exact video length, such as 12 minutes, to create a false sense of authenticity. Earlier scams followed similar patterns, involving names like Mathira Khan, Alina Amir, and Arohi Mim. The specificity tricks users into believing the content is real, fueling curiosity and clicks. Cybercriminals also increasingly rely on AI tools and deepfake technology to make scams appear credible. Fake thumbnails, manipulated screenshots, or repurposed footage from unrelated videos create the illusion of a real clip. In many cases, the name “Angel Nuzhat” itself may be entirely fictional, constructed to boost search traffic and increase clicks.
Engaging with these scam links can have severe consequences. Malware can allow unauthorized access to banking apps and personal accounts, upload sensitive photos to unknown servers, and lead to sextortion or blackmail using stolen data. Experts note that the average Indian user receives more than ten scam messages daily, highlighting the constant and evolving threat of digital fraud.
The National Cybercrime Reporting Portal has issued warnings to users. People are advised to avoid downloading .apk, .exe, or .zip files from forwarded links, be cautious of Telegram “leak” groups that often act as data harvesting hubs, disconnect from the internet and uninstall suspicious apps immediately if a malicious link is clicked, and report incidents to the cyber helpline at 1930. Authorities stress that online safety requires active habits, not luck.
The Angel Nuzhat 12-minute MMS is not a real video but a carefully crafted scam exploiting human curiosity. Users are urged to question links before sharing and protect their devices like their wallets—or even more. Cybersecurity is no longer optional; one careless click can compromise your digital life.
