A week in security for March 2–8 highlighted a string of threat developments and warnings from Malwarebytes Labs. The roundup notes that attackers could gain control of a PC through a fake Google Meet update and warns about fake OpenClaw installers that mislead users via Bing results, sending victims to GitHub repositories. Other items include a fake CleanMyMac site that installs SHub Stealer and backs up crypto wallets, and a Windows File Shredder tool that claims to securely delete files.
The post also points to broader concerns such as a high-severity Qualcomm bug targeted at Android devices, and discussions around geofence warrants and potential VPN bans in the UK. It also covers abuse of OAuth redirects to launch phishing and malware attacks, along with various other exploits and misdirections noted by the firm during the week. According to Malwarebytes Labs, readers are urged to stay vigilant for deceptive sites and compromised downloads, and to keep security tools up to date.
