Building on earlier reports of fraudulent Claude sites, scammers have begun hijacking Claude AI chats and Google advertisements to distribute malware aimed at Mac users. Fake support pages for the Claude service are now circulating online as part of the scheme.
The campaign uses deceptive websites that impersonate official Claude support resources. These pages appear in search results and sponsored ads, tricking users into downloading harmful software onto their Apple computers. Researchers had previously identified similar fake Claude interfaces delivering backdoor malware.
