Fuser-master: Compromises WordPress Sites

Fuser-master: Compromises WordPress Sites

WordPress is an immensely popular content management system (CMS) powering over 43% of all websites. Many webmasters will monetize their sites by running ads and need to draw particular attention to search engine optimization (SEO) techniques to maximize their revenues.

What is Fuser-master ?

Fuser-master is an innovation tool which generates a specialized URL. When users click on it, they will automatically be taken to the legitimate blog alongside a popunder page displayed in the background. This popup from an external page has the ability to display a variety of advertisements.

The WordPress plugin will then simulate human behavior by scrolling down the page and then clicking on an ad. In case the user browses, moves the cursor or takes any other action energy, the plugin will immediately stop its activity and become even more inconspicuous.

The plugin contains JavaScript code that mimics the activity of a real visitor: scrolls the page, clicks on links, etc.

The code also monitors for real human activity (mouse movement) and will immediately stop the fake scrolling when that happens

Malwarebytes revealed that a total of 50 blogs had been exposed by fuser-master.
