Beware of Malware-Infested Bing Chat Ads

Malicious ads are being served through Microsoft Bing's AI-powered chatbot, leading users to malware-distributing sites. Cybersecurity researchers have discovered that users can be tricked into visiting booby-trapped sites and installing malware directly from Bing Chat conversations. Threat actors are leveraging malvertising tactics to insert ads into Bing Chat conversations, redirecting users to fraudulent links before the official sites hosting the desired tools. The malware delivered through these campaigns is currently unknown. This revelation comes as other cybersecurity firms uncover multi-step campaigns targeting the hospitality sector, using social engineering attacks and phishing techniques to steal customer information and financial data. Users are advised to be cautious of unsolicited links, suspicious messages, and deceptive URLs.
