Malicious browser extensions aren't new. But this one's different.

“We anticipate more platform-specific malware to appear," Facebook researchers said.

At least 400 apps in Google’s Play Store are feeding malicious ads into apps through abuse of an SDK.

White Ops on Thursday disclosed a vast, ongoing scheme in which fraudsters are charging advertising companies for ad space on smart TVs.

The 56 apps had more than one million downloads, according to Check Point.

Most went live in September, and all share a similar code library meant to help avoid detection.

The app page downloads a slot machine game and instructs the user to use the app for seven days to guarantee the jailbreak works.

And now we know the group called itself "Metan," the Russian word for methane.

Maybe the only thing more complicated than the Methbot advertising fraud scheme was the plan that ultimately shut it all down.

Researchers declined to identify the company by name, citing an ongoing law enforcement investigation.
