∗∗∗ Malicious Activities with Google Tag Manager ∗∗∗ --------------------------------------------- If I were to ask if you could trust a script from Google that is loading on your website, the majority of users would say "yes" or even "absolutely".

∗∗∗ PBot: a Python-based adware ∗∗∗ --------------------------------------------- Recently, we came across a Python-based sample dropped by an exploit kit.
