Canada and the U.K. hit by Ramnit Trojan in new malvertising campaign

Malwarebytes has observed an increase in malvertising activity coming from adult websites that have significant traffic (several million monthly visits each) Malicious actors are using pop-under ads (adverts that load in a new browser window under the current active page) to surreptitiously redirect users to the RIG exploit kit. This particular campaign abuses the ExoClick ad network (ExoClick was informed and took action to stop the fraudulent advertiser based on our reports) According to our telemetry, the campaign primarily targets Canada and the U.K.”]
