Attackers took over HBO Max’s verified Reddit account earlier this month and used it to run 108 advertisements over roughly two days, directing people to a page that asked them to infect their own computers.
Researchers at cybercrime intelligence firm Hudson Rock set out the operation in a report on Monday. Cybersecurity firm Malwarebytes reported that Reddit paused the advertisements and opened an investigation after receiving reports. Neither the number of victims nor any losses have been established.
