In recent days, infected ads in Google Ads have become commonplace. According to experts, the system, which has recently undergone a transformation, has difficulties in catching infected sites. Cybersecurity company Secureworks presents itself as Google’s new malware ad.
A malware called Bumblebee is believed to infect computers by poisoning SEO and Google ads. Software infecting Google ads on an infected computer leads to fake download links.
According to a Secureworks report, fake links are created for the most popular apps, especially professional apps like Zoom, ChatGPT, and Cisco AnyConnect.
According to company director Mike McLellan, one in every hundred Google ads contains malware. Experts recommend checking the extensions of your downloaded links.
