Hackers exploiting Google Ads platform to target users
By MYBRANDBOOK
Hackers have increased their abuse of the Google Ads platform to target users searching for popular software products. The Google Ads platform helps advertisers promote pages on Google Search.
The threat actors clone official websites of Grammarly, Slack, Dashlane, Audacity, ITorrent, AnyDesk, Libre Office, Teamviewer, Thunderbird, and more and distribute trojanised versions of the software when users click the download button.
Users looking for original software products on a browser without an active ad blocker are likely to click on malicious links because it looks very similar to the actual search result. The moment those disguised sites are being visited by visitors, the server immediately redirects them to the rogue site and from there to the malicious payload.
If Google detects that the landing site is malicious, the campaign is blocked and the ads are removed. The malware payload comes in ZIP or MSI form and is downloaded from reputable file-sharing and code-hosting services such as GitHub, Dropbox, or Discord’s CDN.
