Peretas Beralih ke Iklan Pencarian Google untuk Mendorong Malware Pencuri Info

January 18, 2023 by Coffee Bean

Peretas menyiapkan situs web palsu untuk perangkat lunak bebas dan sumber terbuka populer untuk mempromosikan unduhan berbahaya melalui iklan di hasil penelusuran Google.

Setidaknya satu pengguna terkemuka di kancah cryptocurrency telah menjadi korban kampanye, mengklaim itu memungkinkan peretas mencuri semua aset kripto digital mereka bersama dengan kendali atas akun profesional dan pribadi mereka.

Tanpa sepengetahuan Alex, ini kemungkinan adalah malware pencuri informasi yang mencuri kata sandi browser, cookie, token Discord, dan dompet cryptocurrency yang disimpan dan mengirimkannya ke penyerang jarak jauh.

Segera, Alex menemukan bahwa akun mereka di pasar OpenSea NFT juga telah disusupi dan dompet lain terdaftar sebagai pemilik salah satu aset digital mereka.

The distribution method was unknown at the time but separate reports in December from cybersecurity companies Trend Micro and Guardio revealed that hackers were abusing the Google Ads platform to push malicious downloads in search results.

Kebingungan iklan berbahaya di hasil pencarian Google
situs web berisi unduhan perangkat lunak palsu yang didistribusikan hanya melalui hasil penelusuran Google Ads. Situs web tersebut meniru apa yang tampak sebagai perusahaan desain web resmi di India bernama Zensoft Tech.

Sayangnya, kami tidak dapat memverifikasi apakah unduhan itu berbahaya tetapi karena domain tersebut adalah URL yang salah ketik, situs tersebut memblokir mesin telusur agar tidak mengindeks konten dan mempromosikan unduhan hanya melalui iklan di hasil penelusuran, ada indikasi kuat adanya aktivitas berbahaya.

Di antara perangkat lunak yang kami temukan di situs web adalah utilitas kompresi file 7-ZIP dan WinRAR, dan pemutar media VLC yang banyak digunakan.

Pemblokir iklan dapat meningkatkan perlindungan
Pemblokir iklan tersedia sebagai ekstensi di sebagian besar browser web dan, seperti namanya, mereka menghentikan pemuatan iklan dan ditampilkan di halaman web, termasuk hasil pencarian.

Selain menambah kenyamanan penggunaan internet, pemblokir iklan juga meningkatkan privasi dengan mencegah kuki pelacak di iklan mengumpulkan data tentang kebiasaan menjelajah Anda.

Namun, dalam kasus ini, ekstensi semacam itu dapat membuat perbedaan antara kehilangan akses ke informasi sensitif atau akun online Anda dan mendapatkan sumber daya digital dari vendor yang sah.
