Hackers Abuse Google Ads and Claude.ai Chats to Push Mac Malware

Attackers are actively abusing Google Ads and legitimate Claude.ai shared chats in a malvertising campaign targeting Mac users. The campaign lures users searching for "Claude mac download" via sponsored Google search results that falsely appear to link to claude.ai but instead direct victims to malicious instructions installing malware on their systems. No specific malware family, technical indicators, or dates were disclosed in the reported activity. The attack leverages trusted platforms to distribute malicious payloads, though the exact impact on compromised Macs remains unspecified. The campaign is ongoing as of the report.
