An ongoing threat campaign that’s already launched more than 100 million malicious adverts has been found exploiting Windows 10 apps
Security researchers have uncovered a security threat that’s seen users of Windows 10 desktop apps served up with malicious adverts pushing everything from tech support scams to fake antivirus malware. Worse yet, because these ads are served up by ad-supported apps, and Windows 10 is just launching your default browser, your ad-blocker will likely not stop them. To date, the malvertising campaign has delivered more than 100 million of these ads, and the attack surface extends way beyond just Windows 10 apps.
