Threat? bnmwork.global

Hello,

I hope you can help me. I’m new to this forum and this is my first post. I’ve had on a few infrequent occasions a new tab open when I’m on Firefox. The address starts with “bnmwork.global” and it’s a page trying to look like a Microsoft page but also claiming I’ve won a new iPhone (logical right?). First couples of times, I just shut it down thinking I may have clicked on an ad by mistake. It’s happened a few more times though, but I paid more attention and I know I didn’t click on ads and was not visiting any dogdy websites. I did a quick web search but only found websites that seemed dodgy themselves (claiming this was a malware that would allow anyone access to my data and I should download their software to fix it.) I’ve only had this tab pop open about 6-8 times in the last month or so.

I’ve tried running a smart scan and nothing was found. I tried running a full virus scan and it’s been 1h and it’s still at 0%.

So… Does anyone know if I should be worried? Has anyone experienced this before?

I’m using Firefox on mobile and just today and last Friday something similar happened with an obviously fake page “adblock downloaded” (link below) opening spontaneously.

Any help or thoughts on the matter would be very welcome!

Thanks!

Hi,

Here’s the fix log.

Thanks!

What is the Firefox status now?

Hi,

Do you mean I am still having the same problem? It’s not come up yet but as I said it didn’t happen very frequently before.

Thanks

Did it showed up again?

So far so good. It seems to be OK.

Thanks a lot! :slight_smile:
