Kaspersky Lab has warned Russians about new hacker attacks.

Attackers have started to fake captcha to deceive users.

The organization's experts shared this information with RIA Novosti .

As Kaspersky Lab employees clarified, hackers disguise their activities using a popular method of checking whether a person or a robot is trying to access a website.

Malicious content can also be styled as system messages coming from Google Chrome when a person views adult content or is on bookmaker and anime community websites.

The deception occurs as follows: When a potential victim clicks on a translucent banner located on an infected site, they are taken to a malicious site.

There is a service message there that a person supposedly needs to get rid of malware, but it is after following the posted instructions that the PC gets infected.
