Picture this: an enterprise employee clicks on what appears to be a verified ad from a trusted brand on Google. But the ad is anything but verified – it’s convincingly spoofed and redirects to a scammer-controlled domain.
The real brand has no idea it’s being imitated, security has no record of the breach, and Google’s own reviewers never saw the malicious content. Still, the unaware employee enters the “trusted” environment and hands over their login or downloads compromised software, creating an exploitable leak of unknown origin.
