Smart swindlers are using Google Ads to spread viruses to cryptocurrency owners. They are taking advantage of popular programs like Homebrew to gain trust from users and steal wallet data. Phishers create fake Google Ads that appear similar to legitimate promotions for Homebrew installers. When users click these ads, they are redirected to fake homepages where they unknowingly download malicious programs. Once executed, the malware steals browser data, crypto wallet files, system info, and more. The ultimate goal is to steal victims' money and transfer it to the attackers' accounts. This scam is made more legitimate with the use of Google Ads, as people are more likely to trust ads on popular platforms.
