Hackers Abuse Bot Protection Tool to Launch Cyber Attacks

Predator, a bot protection tool designed to fight against bots and crawlers, has now been found to be abused by threat actors for malicious purposes. Threat actors have been using phishing emails with malicious links to lure users into a malicious website.  However, if any security researchers run bots/crawlers on the website, a redirect is set up to a legitimate site such as Google’s home page or Wikipedia.
