TL;DR Summary

Malicious advertisements promoting fake download sites that distribute malware have infiltrated Microsoft's AI-powered Bing Chat responses. The incorporation of ads into Bing Chat has opened the door for threat actors to exploit the trust users place in AI-powered chat tools, potentially convincing them to click on ads. The malvertizing campaign imitates a popular IP scanner and redirects users to a clone website that distributes malware. The final payload of the malware campaign is unknown, but it is likely to be information-stealing malware or a remote access trojan. Users are advised to be cautious of chatbot results and double-check URLs before downloading anything.
