In recent news, fake ads for popular software like VLC, 7zip, and OBS have been leading users to malware downloads. A notable incident involved a popular crypto influencer, NFT God, who fell victim to one of these scams. He lost all his digital assets and accounts, likely due to a Redline info stealer, a type of malware previously covered on this channel. Ongoing Threats: Fake Websites This threat is still active. Recently, I encountered a fake website posing as OBS Studio (obspro.net). The site offers downloads that appear legitimate but are actually malware. Clicking on any version of the software downloads a .rar file, which, once executed, installs malicious software instead of the promised program. Despite media coverage on malicious Google ads, these sites persist. Understanding the Threat Today, we'll explore some malicious info stealer samples distributed through these malvertising campaigns. This deep dive aims to help us understand and combat these threats.
