Malware Hits 300,000 Browsers, Exploits Microsoft and Google Cloud Services
Aug 9, 2024, 04:12 PM
A significant malware campaign has been identified, affecting 300,000 browsers by force-installing malicious Chrome extensions and patching DLLs. The malware utilizes PowerShell payloads to modify web browser shortcut links, ensuring the malicious extensions load and disabling the browser's automatic update mechanism.
