A large number of pirated, virus-infected websites are flooding search engines, and Kaspersky does not fully detect them

In China and other regions, there are some extremely well-known and even essential software applications that are currently plagued by a massive number of pirate websites. This isn't just a matter of one or two, or even ten or twenty sites, but rather a much larger scale of purposeful malicious piracy activity.

When searching for the affected applications on search engines, often only one result is the genuine content, while almost all others are pirate sites containing system-intruding viruses. These websites not only perfectly replicate the content of the original pages, but the applications they distribute contain severe malware that compromises the system.

The most distinct behavior of this virus currently is that, once enabled, it forcibly closes and blocks the operation of any antivirus software capable of detecting it.

Kaspersky is already able to identify many of the websites carrying these viruses (phishing sites), but those identified represent merely a fraction of the total.

Currently affected applications (this is far from an exhaustive list):

These are definitely not attacks carried out by individuals, but are organized and purposeful attacks. (I suspect this organization is the same one that previously compromised "快手" (This is a short video platform similar to TikTok)causing the platform to display pornographic content.)

I strongly hope that Kaspersky can give serious attention to these attacks, identify these phishing websites, and investigate the origins (currently, no one knows who is behind this, but the impact is extremely severe). I trust Kaspersky deeply and believe that the Kaspersky security team can find a solution to this crisis. Thank you very much!!

Examples of sites already flagged by Kaspersky as phishing sites containing viruses:

https://www.huorongcn.com/

https://www.huorongpc.com/

https://www.huorongh.com/

(The only official website for these is: https://www.huorong.cn/)

Some sites that have not yet been flagged:

This has indeed been blocked, but can Kaspersky try to identify the organization responsible for creating these numerous pirated websites—just as it previously detected other malware?

Thank you very much
