The 19 minute 34 second leaked video trend has started to become dangerous. Weeks ago, a video that was claimed to involve Bengali influencer Sofik SK and his girlfriend Dustu Sonali was reported to have leaked online.
The video, which was said to be 19 minutes and 34 seconds long, appeared on various platforms and quickly went viral. Social media was filled with memes, double meaning jokes, and thousands of Instagram reels. Many users joked that anyone who had not seen the 19 minute viral leaked video had seen nothing. This created widespread curiosity about the trend.
As the topic gained attention, news stories also began discussing the so called 19 minutes 34 second viral video. Soon, not only Instagram reels but also Facebook, YouTube, X (formerly Twitter) and other platforms were flooded with content related to this trend.
It became so popular that it appeared among the most searched topics on Google Trends, and many people are still trying to find the video. Some users suggested that the video might be fake or AI generated, because there has been no clear statement or confirmation from the people who are claimed to appear in the clip. Others speculated that it might be a tactic to gain followers.
Several unrelated Instagram accounts were dragged into the controversy. Some people claimed that the girl in the leaked video was Meghalaya based influencer Sweet Zanna, but she later clarified that she was not the one in the video.
The trend became so intense that scammers began taking advantage of it. Some individuals claimed to have the 19 minute 34 second video and demanded payment from people who wanted access to it.
This led to several reports of scams where victims were tricked into paying for a link that never contained the video. According to an international outlet, there is also a phishing scam in which people receive a link with a thumbnail showing “download 19 minute video,” but the link is designed to steal personal and banking information.
Cybersecurity researchers explained that a fast spreading phishing scheme built around the so called 19 minute video is exploiting curiosity and trust in everyday apps. The scam allows a banking Trojan to quietly take control of victims’ phones. Experts say this reflects a broader shift in cyber fraud tactics, where attackers rely more on psychological manipulation rather than direct technical intrusion.
This scam has spread rapidly on WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, and other messaging platforms. The link claims to show a viral 19 minute video, but instead of opening any video, it redirects users through several fake pages. Behind these screens, the banking Trojan installs itself, requesting permissions that seem normal but give the malware deep access to the device.
The 19 minute 34 second trend continues to dominate online searches, but experts warn that the true danger now comes from the scams that use the trend to trick people, rather than from the alleged video itself.
There are now multiple accounts claiming that there is a season 2 or season 3 of the video. Some accounts also claim to have a new video of the same couple. However, according to several reports, these so called second and third part videos are fake and AI generated.
