ETHERHIDING POPUPS STILL ACTIVE

    Date: 09/09/2024

    Severity: High

    Summary

    We continue to find websites with injected code that uses "EtherHiding" to create popup windows for fake browser updates. This issue has been observed in infection chains known as "ClearFake" and "ClickFix," though we have not yet identified the specific malware associated with this chain. For details on a ClickFix infection chain reported in June 2024, visit:  https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/Unit42-timely-threat-intel/blob/main/2024-06-24-IOCs-for-ClickFix-pushing-Lumma-Stealer.txt
