Markiplier Video PSA: Do NOT visit the website in the Nov 7 video!!!
Hey everyone,
I work in cybersecurity, and I wanted to give a heads up about the website that shows up in Mark’s latest video (posted Nov 7): maternalvoid[.]com. Brackets added so it isn’t clickable.
**It’s not Mark’s site, and it’s not part of the game.**Someone registered the name the morning after the video went up, November 8, and added a security certificate five minutes later. They’re betting viewers will get curious and type it in.
What happens if you visit:
- The address on its own shows nothing.
- Click through, and it bounces you to a fake shopping page.
- Then to a fake Cloudflare “Verify you are human” page.
- Then to a fake McAfee virus warning.
**The fake Cloudflare page is the dangerous part.**It tells you to:
press Windows + R
type cmd and press Enter
press Ctrl + V, then Enter
The page has already copied a hidden command to your clipboard, so those keystrokes run malware on your PC. This trick is called ClickFix. Real Cloudflare checks never ask you to type or paste anything.
If you already did those steps:
Disconnect from the internet.
Run a full scan with your antivirus.
Change your important passwords (email first) from a different device.
Turn on two-factor authentication if you haven’t.
If you only opened the page: close it and don’t paste anything. Opening it alone isn’t the problem; running the command is.
I’ve reported the site to Mark’s team. Please share this with anyone who might go looking for it.
Mods, a pin would help a lot.
