Even the video files themselves can be dangerous. Hackers use a technique called "Double Extortion" where they embed a malicious script into the subtitle file (.SRT) or a hidden payload within the MKV container. Once you open the file in a vulnerable media player (like an old version of VLC or KMPlayer), the hacker can:
