Reddit can be an excellent source for answers, but the site's internal search is notoriously unhelpful. Users often go to Google and search for the "search term Reddit" instead. Bleeping Computer reports that hackers are exploiting this with hundreds of fake Reddit and file-sharing pages.

Fake Reddit websites are distributing malware through fake threads with supposed solutions. Malicious domains impersonate popular sites like Reddit and WeTransfer to infect users. Scammers use fake URLs with telltale signs to distribute the Lumma Stealer malware.

Unsuspecting users can fall victim to dangerous Lumma Stealer malware using a fake Reddit thread offering a solution to a problem.

Hackers are distributing close to 1,000 web pages mimicking Reddit and the WeTransfer file sharing service that lead to downloading the Lumma Stealer malware.
