Fake popular sites offer a free app, instead take over PCs

Attackers are distributing malware via lookalike websites impersonating popular sites like CNN, Avast, and Stremio to trick Windows users into installing a remote-access tool called O&O Syspectr. The campaign uses fake installers disguised as legitimate apps or browser games (e.g., cryptocurrency miners) to give attackers remote control of victims' PCs.
