  • Porn sites are using malware hidden in .svg files to generate fake likes on Facebook.
  • .svg files can include HTML and JavaScript, making them vulnerable to abuse for attacks like cross-site scripting and denial of service.
  • Malwarebytes discovered that these .svg files, when clicked, secretly register likes on Facebook posts promoting the sites.
  • The JavaScript in these .svg files was heavily obscured using a custom version of 'JSFuck' to hide the malicious code.
