In March 2026, a viral trend titled “Ibu Tiri vs Anak Tiri” began circulating widely on social media. The phrase, which translates to “Stepmother vs Stepchild”, quickly gained attention after short clips and teaser posts spread across platforms like TikTok, Telegram, and X.
Many posts claim that a “2 minute 30 second full video” exists online. However, as of now, no verified footage or confirmed source has surfaced.
Experts believe the trend may be part of a clickbait campaign designed to exploit curiosity and spread malicious links.

How the Viral Trend Started
The “Ibu Tiri vs Anak Tiri” search trend appears to have started after several TikTok posts showed cryptic clips or static images with sensational captions.
These posts often encourage viewers to search for an external link to watch a “no sensor” or full version of the video.
Because the clips provide very little context, speculation quickly spread online. Many users began searching for the alleged video, causing the topic to trend among Indonesian internet users.
Despite the widespread claims, no credible evidence confirms that a full video actually exists.
Why the “2 Minute 30 Second” Claim Is Suspicious
Cybersecurity analysts say that specific video lengths are commonly used in viral hoaxes.
Mentioning a precise duration — such as 2 minutes and 30 seconds — can make a claim appear more believable.
However, similar viral trends in the past have often turned out to be:
-
edited or unrelated clips presented as scandals
-
fabricated stories designed to generate traffic
-
fake “exclusive links” used to promote private Telegram channels
Because of these patterns, experts caution that the claims around the “2 minute 30 second video” should be treated with skepticism.
Cybersecurity Experts Warn About Dangerous Links
Authorities and digital safety advocates have issued warnings about the links circulating with the viral trend.
Many of these links do not lead to any video. Instead, they may redirect users to harmful websites designed for scams.
Common risks include:
Phishing scams
Fake websites that attempt to steal social media or banking credentials.
Malware downloads
Hidden software that can infect devices and collect personal data.
Aggressive advertising traps
Pages that force users through multiple ads to generate revenue for scammers.
Because of these threats, experts strongly recommend not clicking unknown links that promise the viral video.
The Bigger Issue: Viral Misinformation
The rapid spread of the “Ibu Tiri vs Anak Tiri” trend highlights how viral curiosity can be manipulated online.
When sensational content appears on social media, algorithms may amplify it quickly, even if the information is unverified or misleading.
Digital safety advocates say users should:
-
verify information before sharing
-
avoid suspicious download links
-
report misleading posts to platform moderators
-
rely on trusted news sources
Practicing these habits helps reduce the spread of misinformation and protects users from online scams.
