By Bill Toulas

AI Summary

Online advertising firm Adform suffered a supply-chain attack in which threat actors injected cryptocurrency-stealing scripts into its ad platform, replacing clipboard-copied wallet addresses with attacker-controlled addresses on websites using Adform's ad delivery infrastructure. The attack is a classic clipboard hijacking technique delivered at scale via a compromised ad network, potentially affecting thousands of websites and their visitors. Adform customers and web publishers should immediately audit any third-party ad scripts served from the platform.
