This kinda feels like a search algorithm hitpiece on KeepPass rather than an informative article.
Not that it bags on KeepPass specifically, but it’s basically just describing malicious ads, phishing, and man in the middle attacks, all of which the rest of everything online is effected by…
Like I guess it’s good to know, but I don’t think it’s really going to help anyone that didn’t already know to not click on shitty ad links.
Maybe I glossed over something in the article though,*shrug.
The campaign, which appears to have begun in early April 2025, involves compromised download links and trojanized versions of the legitimate KeePass application that appear identical to the authentic software on the surface, while harboring dangerous capabilities beneath.
Yeah this is hardcore clickbait and borderline slander of KeePass. They arent “weaponizing” KeePass, because KeePass itself is not involved in the scheme at all. At best you could say “The KeePass name/brand is being weaponized”. As you said, if you just download and install stuff from random links, you cant be saved anyways.

It’s just like those fake bank/ebay/paypal/adobe phishing sites.
