The Google and Bing advertising networks are being abused to deliver malware to targeted sets of users, new research has claimed.
Cybersecurity experts from Sophos recently announced the discovery of a new malware campaign dubbed Nitrogen. In the campaign, the threat actors were using Google ads and Bing ads to advertise popular tools, such as AnyDesk (a remote desktop tool), WinSCP (SFTP/FTP client for Windows OS), TreeSize Free (free-disk-space manager) and Cisco AnyConnect VPN.
