Cybercriminals are abusing browser push-notification features through a new command-and-control platform called Matrix Push C2, discovered by BlackFrog. The system tricks users into enabling notifications on malicious or compromised sites, giving attackers a direct channel to victims’ devices. They then send fake system alerts that redirect users to phishing pages or malware downloads.

Because the attack leverages browser notifications, it’s largely fileless and works across all major operating systems. Matrix Push C2 provides attackers with a real-time dashboard showing victim details, analytics tools, URL shorteners to disguise malicious links, and templates mimicking brands like MetaMask, Netflix, and PayPal to enhance social-engineering success. BlackFrog recommends using anti–data exfiltration (ADX) tools to help block outbound traffic and mitigate the threat.
