Recently, bad actors were caught using Google ads to promote a malware-laden website that impersonated the official website for the Brave browser. The near-perfect replica of Brave.com encouraged visitors to install remote access malware known as ArechClient or SectopRat. Google has since removed the malicious ads after the legitimate Brave team brought them to the search giant's attention.
