A new Facebook malvertising campaign has been discovered tricking victims looking for Windows themes and other software into downloading information-stealing malware.
As per the report from cybersecurity researchers Trustwave, threat actors have been abusing Facebook’s ad network to create malicious advertisements for things like Windows themes, top games, AI software, and more. The campaign, which also leverages LinkedIn and YouTube, has been active since at least September 2023, and is still active, at press time.
