Secure World reported:
One of the most concerning trends is the increase in corporate-targeted malvertising. Hackers are exploiting employees' trust in their workplace tools and portals by mimicking official-looking ads that lead to phishing pages.
For instance, in a recent case, a Google ad posed as a legitimate Lowe's employee portal, luring staff to a fake login page that could harvest credentials. Similarly, ads mimicking well-known corporate tools like Slack have been reported, where initial clicks appear harmless, but later steps encourage users to download malicious software. Sponsored ads for popular search keywords such as Apple or Microsoft Support are exploited to trick consumers into clicking malicious sponsored advertisements.
