This article is remarkably low on specific details, outlining how this used to work on Windows, but not so much on MacOS

In one instance, a macOS and Safari user from a LayerX enterprise customer was targeted. Although the organization employed a Secure Web Gateway, the attack bypassed it. However, LayerX’s AI-based detection system, which analyzes web pages using numerous parameters at the browser level, successfully blocked the attack.

Poorly-placed ad for LayerX's AI garbage, maybe?
