Beware of Malicious Ads Injected into Bing Chat that Distribute Malware

Malicious ads are being injected into Bing Chat responses, promoting fake sites that distribute malware.

Bing Chat's conversational format makes users more trusting of results, increasing click-through of malicious ads.

Ads pose as popular IP scanning software to target IT admins. Links go through redirects to evade detection.

Downloaded malware could not be analyzed, but likely steals info or provides remote access.
