FriendlyDealer is a widespread social-engineering campaign that deploys a reusable web-app kit to create convincing fake app-store listings and installable PWAs which redirect users to gambling sites via affiliate links; it collects telemetry, leverages ad pixels and browser-specific install flows, and has been observed across over 1,500 domains, with a central telemetry domain (ihavefriendseverywhere.xyz) and several identified IOCs.
