Some Ad Networks Are Bad News
Larry Seltzer writes for eWeek:
You wouldn't go surfing to just any site. You're careful about where you go. You only go to sites you trust.More here.
But who are you trusting? A series of recent attacks has resulted in seemingly respectable news sites serving malware and redirecting users to sites that serve malware.
The problem is in the ads on those news sites. The ads are served by advertising networks that weren't careful enough with their own security. When you trust a Web site you have to trust everyone it's in bed with.
