Summary
Cybersecurity researchers have identified another intrusive application that is targeting Mac users. It also should be pointed out that most adware applications do not rely on the typical channels for their distribution. The advertisements are likely to be promoting untrustworthy destinations, including hoax websites, phishing schemes, fake giveaways, shady online betting platforms and more. Users also may encounter enticing advertisements for PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs), masquerading as legitimate applications. The PUPs operators also may receive numerous device details, and in some cases, even sensitive information extracted from the browsers autofill data, such as account credentials, banking details, credit/debit card numbers, etc.
