Several malicious India-linked domains and websites that were being used in attacks targeting users worldwide by hack-for-hire groups have now banned by American tech giant Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG).
To warn users about the threat, the company recently published a blog post where they listed these banned domain links which used to inject spying tools into users’ PCs/ laptops by appearing as fake login pages for websites or apps.
The blog post read, “As part of the TAG’s mission to counter serious threats to Google and our users, we’ve published analysis on a range of persistent threats including government-backed attackers, commercial surveillance vendors, and serious criminal operators.”
“We’re sharing intelligence on a segment of attackers we call hack-for-hire, whose niche focuses on compromising accounts and exfiltrating data as a service,” it continued.
Apart from India, Google has also provided examples of the hack-for-hire ecosystem from Russia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), in order to help users.
