Good reminder that ad blockers provide security against this sort of thing. Yet another example of ad networks not checking content.<p>Does anyone know if this also impacts duckduckgo, which uses keyword based ads from Microsoft Advertising?

Bunq or any financial services company is in a perfect position to trace these criminals. If they would create some actual Bunq login accounts and actual Bunq ATM card numbers, with zero balance or low $5 balance, they could feed some of these account numbers to the malware site before shutting it down, and later monitor where those account numbers end up getting used.<p>Does anyone know if banks, MasterCard, Visa, etc., are already doing this? It seems obvious and straightforward, but maybe banks are averse to giving out actual credentials (no matter how limited the account) in case something goes wrong.
