Experts at Trustwave observed a group of cyber criminals helping spread pro-Russia propaganda by inflating video views with a malvertising campaign. A botnet, originally designed for malvertising purpose, used redirect unaware users to view some pro-Russian videos on the website DailyMotion. The event is very interesting due to the political motivation behind the attack. The technique allows bad actors to collect around 320,000 views for each video. The videos have been removed from DailyMotion at the time Im writing.”]
