Malware Campaigns Target Users of PornHub, XVideos, Other Adult Websites

Kaspersky Lab’s year in review report of cyber threats targeting online adult content viewers saw a 300% increase in numbers in 2018. The number of attacks using malware to hunt for credentials that grant access to porn websites grew almost three-fold compared to 2017, with more than 850,000 attempts to install such malware. The Trojan-Downloader malware family was used very frequently as part of malware campaigns that targeted visitors of adult websites. Phishing attacks that used websites camouflaged as popular adult content portals saw a jaw-dropping increase of 1000% during the fourth quarter of 2018.
