Recent malware attacks have become more advanced, and the advice to keep your device safe is no longer as easy as "Don't click on any random links sent to you." Threat actors are seeking victims out with more concealed measures, like this fake ad for Google Authenticator that looks like the real deal, identified in a July 30 report by Malwarebytes.
After users click on the fake ad, they're redirected multiple times until finally landing on a fake site for Google Authenticator hosted on GitHub. If people aren't paying close attention, it's easy to miss these redirects and not notice they're on a malicious site before innocently clicking that 'Download' button.
