Researchers at cybersecurity firm Proofpoint have newly discovered a large-scale malvertising campaign that exposed millions of Internet users in the United States, Canada, the UK, and Australia to malware infections.
Active for more than a year and still ongoing, the malware campaign is being conducted by a hacking group called KovCoreG, which is well known for distributing Kovter ad fraud malware that was used in 2015 malicious ad campaigns, and most recently earlier in 2017.
The KovCoreG hacking group initially took advantage of P0rnHub—one of the world's most visited adult websites—to distribute fake browser updates that worked on all three major Windows web browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge/Internet Explorer.
The Proofpoint researchers, the pollutions in this attack first appeared on P0rnHub web pages via a legitimate advertising network called Traffic Junky, which tricked users into connecting the Kovar malware onto their operations.
Among other malicious things, the Kovter malware is known for its unique persistence mechanism, allowing the malware to load itself after every reboot of the infected host.

IT security researchers at Kaspersky have found a new malware strain called ATMii because it hits ATMs that run on Windows 7 and Windows Vista. This means the malware is useless on a majority of ATMs since most of them nowadays use Windows XP. It too hints at the event that the executive of ATMii is deliberately attacking the ATMs of a certain network and the malware strain has been designed to steal from those machines only.
