eGobbler, a threat group recently targeted iOS users from the U.S. alongside various European Union Countries through numerous massive malvertising attacks for almost a week and utilized Chrome for iOS vulnerability to sidestep the browser's built-in in pop blocker.

The said threat group utilized "8 individual campaigns and more than 30 fake creatives" all through their push, with every one of the fake ad crusades having life spans of somewhere in the range of 24 and 48 hours.
