Cybercriminals are gaming Google search results again, pushing malicious links disguised as legitimate software downloads. Their latest tactic targets IT professionals—tricking them into clicking on fake but convincing-looking search results that secretly install malware.
Editor’s Note: Even routine searches for software tools can be risky now. Hackers are exploiting trust in Google's rankings, so double-checking URLs before clicking is more important than ever—especially for tech teams handling sensitive systems. This isn’t just phishing; it’s a calculated ambush hiding in plain sight.
