Microsoft: New malware can infect over 30K Windows PCs a day

Microsoft has warned of an ongoing campaign pushing a new browser hijacking and credential-stealing malware dubbed Adrozek. The malware injects ads into search engine results pages and it can hijack Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Yandex Browser, and Mozilla Firefox. At its peak, the malware was able to take over more than 30,000 devices every day. Microsoft warned end users who find this threat on their devices are advised to re-install their browsers. The attackers earn through affiliate advertising programs, which pay by the amount of traffic referred to sponsored affiliated pages.
