Malware Disguised as Google Updates Pushed via Hacked News Sites

Hacked corporate sites and news blogs running using WordPress CMS are being used by attackers to deliver malware that allows them to drop second-stage payloads such as keyloggers, info stealers, and Trojans. These landing pages are designed to look like a legitimate Google Chrome update page and instruct potential victims to download an update for their browser. Instead of a Chrome update, the targets will download malware installers that will infect their devices and allow operators behind this campaign to take control of their computers remotely.
