LiveStreamNewsToday Promos Redirect Overview
The LiveStreamNewsToday Promos redirect is a malicious copy of a common portal and search engine template which is operated by a hacking group. The reports about it indicate that it can be distributed using common strategies. This includes the creation of browser hijackers which are dangerous plugins made for the most popular web browsers. They are often distributed by uploading them to repositories and download sites — commonly this is done by using stolen or fake developer credentials and user reviews. This is a type of a payload carrier file, other common variants include the macro-infected document and malicious software bundle installers. They are designed to copy down files which are commonly run by end users.
LiveStreamNewsToday Promos redirect will look like a legitimate portal page. Its main goal is to lure in as man users as possible. One of the main consequences of having it installed is to deploy tracking cookies — they will monitor the user actions and report it back to the hackers.

Copies of the LiveStreamNewsToday Promos redirect will show landing pages — they include affiliate links, sponsored ads and malicious content. Redirects are a popular method for spreading cryptocurrency miners — small scripts which are executed when the site is accessed. They are programmed to download multiple performance-intensive tasks. They will perform complex calculations and take a heavy toll on the performance of the machines: the CPU, memory hard disk space, network speed and graphics card. For every completed task a cryptocurrency reward will be wired directly to their digital wallets. Another popular method is to install ransomware which will encrypt target user data with a strong cipher and then blackmail the victims for a payment. Advanced LiveStreamNewsToday Promos redirect infections may install Trojan horse clients — this is a local client which will establish a link between the hackers and the infected computers. It allows for remote control, stealing of files and spying at the users.
NOTE: While there may be a legitimate browser plugin and relevant site there are multiple malware copies of it.
