    Fake Zillow review pages spread remote access malware to apartment hunters, researchers say

    EfficientIP's research lab identified a campaign using fake Zillow apartment-review pages that tell visitors to paste and run a command as part of a phony verification check, which installs the NetSupport remote access tool on their computers, Help Net Security reported. The lure sites used domains named apartments-review plus a string of digits on the .sbs domain, and EfficientIP first detected them in August 2026. Researchers believe the links are most likely sent through rental scams by fake landlords or agents, though that has not been confirmed.

    Court appoints receiver over Westbank-linked downtown Vancouver rental project

    A judge appointed MNP as receiver on Nov. 4 over a proposed purpose-built rental development in downtown Vancouver held by 700 Bidwell Holdings, on the application of lender BMO, Insolvency Insider Canada reported. BMO says it is owed more than $36 million plus interest and alleges interest has gone unpaid since at least September 2025, and Westbank Holdings gave an unlimited guarantee on the debt. The receiver's power to sell is deferred to Feb. 13, 2027, giving the borrowers time to refinance or sell while they keep operating the site's two existing rental buildings.
