Online ad firm Adform’s script compromised to steal cryptocurrency
Adform, an online advertising firm, experienced a supply chain attack in which attackers compromised the company's ad scripts to inject cryptocurrency-stealing malware. The malicious code monitored users' clipboards and replaced wallet addresses with attacker-controlled addresses when users attempted to paste them.
Why it matters: Practitioners using Adform's ad platform and their website visitors face immediate risk of financial loss through clipboard replacement attacks; ad tech buyers should audit their supply chain integrations and implement controls to detect compromised scripts.
