Summary

Hide ▲

The Matrix Push C2 platform is abusing browser push notifications to deliver fake alerts and steer victims to malicious sites, expanding malware delivery across Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and more. It also lets operators watch infected browsers in real time, making the abuse more dangerous than a simple phishing lure. The activity matters because the channel is described as fileless and can evade suspicion by using a normal browser feature.

    Matrix Push C2 browser notification abuse disclosed

    Initial Disclosure

    BlackFrog disclosed Matrix Push C2, a newly discovered command-and-control platform that abuses the web browser push notification system to deliver fake system and security alerts, redirect victims to phishing pages or malware downloads, and monitor infected browsers in real time. The platform uses a web-based dashboard, configurable templates that mimic brands such as MetaMask, Netflix, Cloudflare, PayPal, and TikTok, short redirect URLs, and a fileless browser-based workflow that works across Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and other browser-equipped devices; BlackFrog recommended anti data exfiltration (ADX) technology to block outbound traffic.
