Malware spread through fake Chrome updates and error pages targets users.

Hackers are compromising websites to inject scripts that display fake Google Chrome automatic update errors that distribute malware to unaware visitors. The malware contains a Monero miner that utilizes the device's CPU resources to mine cryptocurrency for the threat actors. The campaign has been underway since November 2022 and has expanded its targeting scope to cover users who speak Japanese, Korean, and Spanish. The recent inclusion of additional languages may indicate that the threat actors plan to expand their targeting scope.
