We are currently observing a large scale malvertising campaign originating from all the Google advertisement services resold from engagelab.com. It appears as if if all of engagelab.com its advertisement & zone ID’s are currently redirecting to a domain, which in its turn is redirecting to the Nuclear Exploit Kit, indicating a possible compromise at this reseller of Google advertisement services. This Nuclear Exploit kit targets vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash, Oracle Java and Microsoft Silverlight software.

Fox-IT observed the first redirect to the malicious domain on April 7th 2015 on 15:41:42 (CEST/GMT +02:00).
