A good trick from the fraudsters, but fortunately there hasnt been a case of loss caused by the fraud attempt. This vidio will only encourage people who intend to steal other peoples assets by gennerate private key from the destination bitcoin address. But the result is that criminals or thieves have been cheated by fraudsters.
In my oppinion, People who want to steal other peoples assets are thieves or criminals, but the method presented in the video will only make the thief lose stolen assets or stored assets. LOL

Done reporting. What worries me though is that the owner might engage bots to spam likes and fake comments, luring ignorant users to fall victim in their own greed.
Thanks for the awareness @Baofeng and that Frost is really awesome to find that malware. Just a fair advice if the apps aren't that from a secure site or legit sources example on YouTube then better scan it first to VirusTotal.
I am just hope ng those viewers haven't download and executed that file because if they did then they better change all of their passwords especially those who are deemed important to them. I don't know if there are really tools for generating private keys or if it's really true but I guess that's not the case.
