This evil dropper infects you with a dozen malware strains at the same time

Cybercriminals have been observed using SEO poisoning to distribute a new malware loader which tries to infect the target endpoint (opens in new tab) with a dozen malware families.

Researchers from Kaspersky discovered that for many people, typing the keyword “software crack” into Google brings up multiple websites distributing this new malware loader, some of which have even made it to the famed first page of the search results. The loader in question is called “NullMixer”, and is designed for the Windows operating system and apparently, it installs all kinds of password stealers, viruses, backdoors, banking trojans, crypto miners, you name it. The only thing seemingly missing is ransomware.
