‘Spects Girl Viral Video’ Rumors Resurface Online | Real or Just Clickbait?

This week, rumors about a “Spects girl viral video” have spread rapidly on social media.  Shorts and Reels are being uploaded by users on Instagram and YouTube, claiming a leaked private video or MMS of an anonymous girl with glasses.  Fact-checkers, internet users, and others warn that the claims are fake.

Content creators are posting small clips that promise “Part 1” and “Part 2” from a leaked video.  The full link to the video is often provided by these posts, which ask the viewer to click on the “link” in the bio or to comment.  These posts get a lot of views and shares, but there’s no confirmed source for the alleged video.

These posts are primarily intended to attract attention. These accounts are using shock headlines to gain more likes, followers, and comments. Clickbait is the term used to describe this practice.  The links often do not take users to a video, but redirect them to other websites or advertisements.

It is unethical to use this method for growing your social media account.  Fake news spread about leaked private videos can confuse and even be dangerous, even when the person who is the target of the rumor does not know the individual.  The aim is to gain popularity or profit by playing on public curiosity.

Internet security experts advise users to be highly cautious when viewing such posts.  It can be dangerous to click on links that are shared anonymously in bios or comments. This could compromise the security of your computer or mobile device.  You should ignore such posts and not share or click the provided links.  There is currently no reliable confirmation that this video exists.

Users must report any misleading information to social media sites to stop the spreading of false information.  To stay safe on the internet, you should not believe every claim made by Reels and Shorts.
