Candiru

Security discussions are circulating about a newly confirmed zero-click attack method dubbed AdFection, in which mercenary spyware linked to Candiru infects targets through ordinary-looking online ads. If a user is specifically targeted, the malicious ad loads and infection occurs with no click required. Commenters urge blocking ads as a precaution, noting this is the first confirmed in-the-wild case of ad-delivered mercenary spyware.
