The collected data can then be shared with and/or sold to third-parties (potentially, cyber criminals). Targeted information includes: browsing and search engine histories, usernames/passwords, personally identifiable details, credit card numbers, etc. Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.įurthermore, CladRumble might have browser hijacker functionalities since they are common for AdLoad adware, although this app did not exhibit any during testing.
