Of course, the most effective instances\u00a0are those that target high-traffic sites. I stumbled upon criagslist.com, a transposition of craigslist.com (aka\u00a0craigslist.org), only to be redirected to a host of sites pushing various things. The primary server also hosted other domains, including youutbe.com and youtupe.com, knock-offs of YouTube.com.<\/p>\n<p>Miskeying one of these popular sites results in a cascade of redirects through various\u00a0advertising channels and affiliates. At present, these primarily land the user on\u00a0different survey pages, promising &#8220;exclusive rewards&#8221; of $50 or more, or a chance to win a $100 gift card. Previous campaigns were more blatant in deception, delivering fake malware detections, media player upgrades, security vulnerability warnings, and &#8220;Blue Screen&#8221; errors. One page even delivered an audio warning courtesy of an embedded MP3 file set to autoplay on page load.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-46743-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/gp-msg.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/gp-msg.mp3\">https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/gp-msg.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<h2>Fake alerts:<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-46746 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ss4c.png\" alt=\"Fake Media Player Upgrade\" width=\"558\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/ss4c.png 558w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/ss4c-300x184.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 558px) 100vw, 558px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-46747 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ss6c.png\" alt=\"Fake Malware Detection\" width=\"793\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/ss6c.png 793w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/ss6c-300x201.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/ss6c-768x514.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 793px) 100vw, 793px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-46745 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ss8c.png\" alt=\"Fake &quot;BSOD&quot; Error Message\" width=\"926\" height=\"496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/ss8c.png 926w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/ss8c-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/ss8c-768x411.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 926px) 100vw, 926px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In general, these\u00a0attacks frequently use contextual information, with alerts including your location, Internet service provider&#8217;s name, browser, OS, etc.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s common for less savvy users not to understand that such alerts are nothing more than deceptive web pages.
