Deceptive AI bots are being used by cyber-criminals to spread malware and raise security concerns. An advertisement on Facebook promoted the download of a fraudulent version of Google's AI tool, "Bard," which led users to an unfamiliar service named rebrand.ly. Further investigation revealed a suspicious link flagged by antivirus vendors and a webpage masquerading as a legitimate Google site. The downloaded file contained malware that had the potential to modify browser settings and flood users with unwanted advertisements. This campaign is ongoing and may involve other fake "Google AI" ads. #DeceptiveAI #Malware #SecurityConcerns #CyberCrime
