Beware the Great Firewall Decoy: Hackers Lure with Banned App Ads to Plant Malware
Beware, netizens! Hackers are luring users in China with fake ads for banned apps, only to serve up a malware smorgasbord. Don’t bite the bait!

Using compromised or bespoke Google Ads accounts, they're dangling the forbidden fruit of banned communication apps in front of Chinese consumers. But surprise, surprise! Instead of digital freedom, it's a one-way ticket to malware city, population: your computer.
