Recently, the viral Bjorka CCTV video has been causing a stir on the internet. It is suspected that the video can cause phones to lag or become difficult to use. Cybersecurity expert, Alfons Tanujaya, recommends anyone who receives the video to restart their phone immediately. Afterwards, they should delete the problematic message.
“Here’s a tip to solve the problem, if your phone hangs, restart it and delete the message. If you want to be safe, access and view it from WhatsApp Web,” Alfons told CNBC Indonesia on Friday (10/3/2023).
According to him, the video is designed in such a way that it can cause phones to hang because it will make the phone become “height overflow.” The video will exploit the limitations of certain Android phones’ specifications. This will force the hardware to work beyond its usual range. “This is a video that is designed in such a way that it causes height overflow and on certain Android phones, it causes hang or lag,” explained Alfons.
Alfons said that the victims’ phones are not always of low specifications. However, the majority of attacks will occur on these types of phones due to their hardware limitations. “Most likely, it is related to certain specifications. It doesn’t have to be low specifications, but usually, it affects low specification phones because they usually have hardware limitations,” he said.
The video is also confirmed to only cause problems such as lagging and hanging, and not related to other cases such as data theft. “The impact is only limited to lagging, or sometimes complete shutdown. So, there are no other impacts such as data theft or the like,” said Alfons.
The 9-second video has been circulating on various social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Tiktok, Twitter, and even Youtube. Usually, a video narration will claim that it can damage phones.
