AI helps scammers build convincing antivirus renewal pages

Malwarebytes found scammers using AI to build polished fake antivirus renewal pages impersonating Avast, harvesting names, emails and phone numbers for follow-up fraud calls.

Malwarebytes analyzed a fake Avast renewal site targeting Belgian users in French, claiming a €129.99 Avast Premium Security renewal and collecting name, email address and Belgian mobile number through a cancellation form. Leftover code comments written in polite French and other stylistic clues suggest the page was generated with AI assistance, and the form was never connected to send data anywhere. The scam typically progresses to phone calls pressuring victims to install remote access software, and AI substantially lowers the barrier for producing polished, localized scam pages at scale.

3 Vulnerabilities Found on AvertX IP Cameras

Unit 42 disclosed three vulnerabilities (CVE-2020-11623/4/5) in AvertX HD838 and 438IR IP cameras; AvertX has released patches.

Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 researchers found three vulnerabilities in AvertX HD838 and 438IR outdoor surveillance cameras, which are rebranded Hikvision products: CVE-2020-11625 (user enumeration), CVE-2020-11624 (weak password requirements), and CVE-2020-11623 (exposed dangerous method/function). User enumeration responses facilitate brute-force attacks, the default admin credentials (admin/1234) are never enforced to change, and physical access to an exposed UART interface allows bootloader access and configuration modification. AvertX released a patch, removed the UART connector, and disabled the interface in the latest production batch.

Tech support scams look different now. Here’s what to watch for

Malwarebytes warns tech support scammers now abuse sponsored search results, fake listings, calendar invites, and Apple Pay notifications, and shares red flags for impersonation scams.

Malwarebytes describes how tech support scams have expanded beyond browser locks and fake virus warnings to sponsored search results, hijacked on-site searches, fake platform listings, renewal scams, fake calendar invites, and Apple Pay notifications. Scammers impersonate trusted security companies including Malwarebytes, seeking payment, personal information, or remote access to victims' computers. Malwarebytes notes it does not outsource support, never makes unsolicited calls, and works with the FTC and the Global Anti-Scam Alliance to combat these scams.

What’s the Scam?

Bruce Schneier reports AI-generated fake thank-you replies to his newsletter confirmations from throwaway Gmail accounts; the scam's goal is unclear.

Bruce Schneier describes receiving a burst of AI-generated, one-line praise emails replying to Crypto-Gram newsletter confirmation messages, sent from random-character Gmail addresses. None of the senders actually subscribed, and they did not respond when he replied, weakening a pig-butchering theory. The campaign appears automated, but its objective has not been identified.
