Microsoft has identified a new malware distribution campaign leveraging misleading ads to spread info-stealing malware including Lumma and RedLine. Attackers create fake advertisements that mimic legitimate software downloads redirecting users to malicious websites. The malware is then hosted on GitHub taking advantage of the platform’s infrastructure to evade detection.
Once installed the malware can extract sensitive information such as login credentials browser cookies and cryptocurrency wallet data. Microsoft highlights the increasing abuse of trusted platforms for malware distribution and emphasizes the need for stronger security measures to counter these threats.
