Paul J StevensDeprecation and sunset | Google Ads API | Google for Developers
https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/sunset-dates
Tell me you hate developers without ... ah whatever. 1 year between GA and sunset! Fucking hell.
Google be google. One of the worst API's I ever encountered. Mostly for being a continuously moving target. Bleh.

OTX BotOXLOADER: new loader evading detection to drop infostealer
A previously undocumented Windows loader designated as OXLOADER delivers the CASTLESTEALER infostealer through malicious Google Ads campaigns, achieving remarkably low detection rates. The loader employs multiple obfuscation layers including control-flow flattening, opaque predicates, and mixed Boolean-Arithmetic techniques, along with self-modifying decryption stubs and abuse of the Windows .reloc section for shellcode staging. Distribution occurs via malvertising impersonating Node.js installations, redirecting victims through intermediary domains to Storj-hosted batch scripts. The loader implements five anti-VM and language checks, including CIS-region and Russian-language exclusions, suggesting a financially motivated Russian-speaking threat actor. OXLOADER uses DonutLoader to deliver the .NET-based CASTLESTEALER payload in memory, evading traditional detection mechanisms through deliberate engineering choices.

Threat Actors Abuse claude.ai Shared Chat for ClickFix Malvertising Campaign
Cybercriminals orchestrated a sophisticated malvertising operation leveraging Google Ads to impersonate popular AI developer tools including Claude AI, ChatGPT Codex, Perplexity, Cursor IDE, and JetBrains. Over seven weeks spanning April to June 2026, attackers deployed 106 unique malicious hostnames across six distinct waves, initially hosting ClickFix social engineering pages on GitLab infrastructure before pivoting to weaponize claude.ai's legitimate shared chat feature. The campaign targeted technically proficient users searching for AI development tools, tricking them into executing terminal commands that deployed the MacSync infostealer. This credential-harvesting malware collected browser data, SSH keys, and cryptocurrency wallets. The Asia-Pacific region sustained the heaviest impact with 67.2% of over 2,000 victims, particularly concentrated in Taiwan. Anthropic responded by banning malicious accounts and implementing additional abuse mitigations.
