As artificial intelligence (AI) technology becomes more popular, so too does its misuse. Recently, this technology has been used to create fake videos, so-called "deepfake" videos. This time, a group of hackers used deepfake-like "clearfake" technology to send fake messages about browser updates.

When the fake browser is updated, the hacker loses all user information. Hackers created fake Chrome and Safari browser images and messages through Clearfake, according to cybersecurity firm Malwarebytes. Therefore, many people are interested in updating their browsers by clicking on links in messages sent by hackers.

However, clicking the link will introduce Atomic macOS Stealer (AMOS) on the user's device. By infiltrating a device, the malware steals important files, including passwords to various online services, bank cards or access to various websites, and sends them to hackers.

This allows hackers to use the information to commit various types of fraud, including financial fraud. According to a report by Malwarebytes, ClearFake is created using the same technology as DeepFake. Providing various training through machine learning, ClearFake can create fake images and videos, as well as spread fake news or rumors.

This attack primarily targets Mac computer users. Malwarebytes is warning everyone not to click on links sent by unknown people or organizations to protect themselves from harmful malware. The company recommends using the Play Store and App Store for any software or app updates, including Chrome and Safari browsers.
