Many compromised sites spread malware
Cybercriminals are exploiting compromised small-business websites to spread malware through fake CAPTCHA prompts. When users visit these legitimate sites, they may be tricked into opening the Windows Run dialog and pasting malicious commands, which can install malware. Affected sites often run WordPress or PrestaShop, and attackers are using blockchain-based smart contracts on the BNB Smart Chain test network to hide and modify instructions, making the campaigns harder to shut down. Experts advise avoiding pasting commands from websites, being cautious of unusual CAPTCHA instructions, and keeping security software and systems updated to protect against these attacks.
