Adware in the Real World (Fireball)
In this video, we will take an overview of Fireball, a web browser hijack tool that directs users to other sites.
Fireball Infected over 250 million devices in 2017. Typically, adware is bundled with Freeware. Experts believe that Fireball was created by the Chinese marketing company RafoTech. We will also submit a sample of Fireball to IBM X-Force Exchange, and compared hashes.
