Report: PornHub Visitors May Have Been Infected by Hackers

Visitors to the popular porn website PornHub may have been infected by hackers who hijacked the site’s “advertising supply chain,” according to a report.

“The attack saw hackers hijack advertising platforms to deliver fake browser updates for the three most popular Windows browsers,” reported Sky News. “The cyber criminals created fake advertisements that would appear as security warnings on the Chrome, Firefox and Edge web browsers – telling users they needed to apply a critical update.”

According to cybersecurity company Proofpoint, the hackers’ attack may have “exposed millions of potential victims in the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia,” using fake updates, which “could just as easily have been ransomware, an information stealer, or any other malware.”
