Threat actors have been using online advertising platforms like Google ads to promote and distribute free PDF tools that are in fact info-stealer malware. This type of malware can lead to the theft of personal and corporate data, financial loss, identity theft and ransomware attacks. These decoy apps are not limited to PDF tools, in other cases a free AI browser, a manual finder, a recipe app and a desktop assistant were observed.
