It began with small, almost unnoticeable glitches. A few influencers noticed odd changes to their subscriber counts, but it seemed insignificant. By morning, it became clear that something massive had occurred. A group of hackers, calling themselves the Parasite Group, had launched a coordinated attack across the internet.

  The Karipon Brothers, kings of viral content, woke up to a horrifying reality. Their YouTube channel, boasting 16 million subscribers, was erased. No videos, no followers. Their Instagram, TikTok, Twitter—every platform where they had a presence was completely wiped out. Years of work, gone in the blink of an eye.

  "Everything's gone!" Brian Karipon shouted, refreshing their YouTube page, hoping it was some kind of glitch. But nothing changed. The once vibrant page was now a blank slate.

  His brothers, Alfred, Carlo, and Dennis, were equally stunned. Alfred checked their Instagram, only to find the same—no posts, no followers, just an empty profile. Carlo pulled up their bank account. "Half of our income has vanished," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

  The Karipon Brothers weren't alone. Around the world, major content creators, influencers, and streamers discovered their online presence had been wiped clean. Followers gone, videos erased, bank accounts drained.

  A single message appeared on their profiles:

  "We are The Parasite Group. We take what has been stolen. The facade is over."

  Chaos spread. Fans, governments, and social media platforms scrambled to understand what was happening. But the Parasite Group was everywhere, and no one could stop them.

  Who were they? Why were they doing this?
