A supposed “Pinay gold medalist viral MMS” has suddenly taken over social media feeds in India and Southeast Asia, with thousands searching for an alleged clip linked to Filipino content creator Zyan Cabrera. But here’s the reality: there is no verified video, no confirmed leak, and no proof that Cabrera is connected to anything being circulated online.
What does exist, however, is a growing web of phishing links, fake captions and scam pages preying on curiosity.
Over the past few days, keywords like “Zyan Cabrera MMS”, “Pinay Gold Medalist Viral Video” and “full clip link” have spiked across Facebook, Instagram, X and Telegram. Many users clicking these posts are ending up on suspicious websites instead of any real content — raising serious cybersecurity concerns.

How the rumour started
The controversy appears to have begun with random posts claiming that a “Pinay gold medalist” was caught in a leaked private video. Soon after, the name Zyan Cabrera — also referred to online as Jerriel Cry4zee — began getting attached to the claim.
From there, the story snowballed.
Unknown accounts started sharing teaser thumbnails, blurred images and clickbait captions promising the “full MMS”. The format is familiar: shock value first, verification never.
So far, there is no credible evidence that any such video exists or that Cabrera is involved.
Who is Zyan Cabrera?
Cabrera is described online as a Filipino digital creator who posts short dance clips, emotional edits and trending social content.
There is also confusion around her identity because several posts label her an “Olympic gold medalist”.
That claim doesn’t hold up.
There are no official sports records, athlete profiles or competition histories linking her to any professional or Olympic-level event. The “gold medalist” tag appears to be entirely fabricated — likely added to make the rumour more sensational and searchable.
The real danger: phishing and scams
Cybersecurity experts say this is less about a viral video and more about a classic trap.
Scammers are using Cabrera’s name and photos — sometimes even AI-generated images — to lure people into clicking external links.
Here’s how the scheme usually works:
• A dramatic caption about a “leaked MMS”
• A blurred or fake preview image
• A link promising the “full video”
• A login or registration page asking for details
Once users enter their information, scammers can steal social media passwords, email credentials or even financial data. In some cases, downloads labelled as videos may contain malware that infects devices.
In short, there’s risk — but no real clip.
Manufactured identity, real consequences
Another red flag: there is no verified or widely followed official account confirming the viral claims. Most posts are coming from low-credibility pages or anonymous Telegram groups.
This suggests the identity narrative may have been built purely to generate traffic.
Digital safety analysts say these tactics are becoming common. Sensational keywords, celebrity names and alleged “MMS leaks” are increasingly being used to push scams, deepfakes or data-harvesting links.
It’s a pattern seen repeatedly in recent months.
What users should do
If you see posts related to the “Pinay gold medalist viral video,” the safest move is simple — don’t click.
Avoid unknown links, never enter login details on random sites and don’t download suspicious files. Sharing unverified rumours also puts innocent people at risk of harassment and reputational harm.
At this point, the only thing spreading faster than the rumour is the scam.
And like many viral controversies online, it appears to be built more on clicks than facts.
