Threat Database Mac Malware ExpressionCargo

ExpressionCargo

ExpressionCargo targets Mac devices and tries to sneakily install itself without being noticed. This dubious behavior becomes less strange when the fact that ExpressionCargo is yet another adware app belonging to the AdLoad family is taken into account. These intrusive apps are created specifically to monetize their presence on the Mac by running unwanted ad campaigns.

With ExpressionCargo on the system, users are likely to start experiencing a significant increase in the encountered advertisements. Furthermore, adware apps are typically capable of injecting their ads into unrelated websites as a tactic to make them appear more legitimate. After all, the chances of the ads promoting actual products or websites are extremely low. Instead, users could be presented with ads for shady online gaming or betting platforms, suspicious adult-oriented sites, fake giveaways, and even phishing schemes.

Unfortunately, the risks associated with having a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) installed on your Mac do not end there. Most apps of this type also harvest various information about the device and the user's browsing activities. Some can even extract potentially sensitive information such as banking details and account credentials from browsers' autofill data.
