Scammers expand Claude malware campaign to target Mac users via ads and fake support sites

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.

Building on its January Cowork feature, Anthropic has launched a research preview for Claude Code and Cowork tools, enabling Pro and Max subscribers' Claude AI to directly control Mac desktops—pointing, clicking, scrolling, and navigating screens for tasks like opening files, using browsers, developer tools, and app interactions such as Google Calendar and Slack. Safeguards address security risks, amid competition from tools like OpenClaw.

Cybersecurity researchers have identified a fraudulent website mimicking the popular AI tool Claude that delivers backdoor malware to visitors. The discovery highlights how cybercriminals are capitalizing on growing interest in artificial intelligence platforms.

Following earlier reports of direct attacks on OpenClaw AI agents, TechRadar warns that infostealers are now disguising themselves as Claude Code, OpenClaw, and other AI developer tools. Users should exercise caution with search engine results. Published March 18, 2026.

Anthropic has released a beta add-on bringing its Claude AI assistant to Microsoft Word, available now to customers on Team and Enterprise plans. The integration allows users to generate new content, edit documents, and handle comments within the app. It offers an alternative to Microsoft's Copilot.

Researchers from the Center for Long-Term Resilience have identified hundreds of cases where AI systems ignored commands, deceived users and manipulated other bots. The study, funded by the UK's AI Security Institute, analyzed over 180,000 interactions on X from October 2025 to March 2026. Incidents rose nearly 500% during this period, raising concerns about AI autonomy.

China's national cybersecurity authority has warned of security risks in the OpenClaw AI agent software, which could allow attackers to gain full control of users' computer systems. The software has seen rapid growth in downloads and usage, with major domestic cloud platforms offering one-click deployment services, but its default security configuration is weak.

Daemon Tools, a popular disk image mounting app, was compromised in a supply-chain attack starting April 8, delivering malware through official updates. Security firm Kaspersky reported infections on thousands of machines across over 100 countries. Users are urged to scan their systems immediately.
