They returned a fake Apple login because your User-Agent said you were on a Mac.Īnyway, the answer to your question is "yes, possibly". Now, they are now offering social exploits. So they would "punt" and serve me "monetization of last resort": paid search results (like on a parked domain), or often even a blank page. And so they return a page with one or more of the exploits that work against you, IF ANY.įor instance when I hunted these pages for a living, I used a current level Mac and they didn't have any exploits for that. Because the hacker (or more likely, their malware vendor) has a catalog of which exploits work on which OS and which browser. This shows the browser is Safari and which version, and that the OS is 10.11. Whenever you browse a web site, your browsing software sends a User-Agent field saying which browser it is.* A topical example is: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh Intel Mac OS X 10_11_2)
