Malvertising

Created the Tuesday 23 April 2019. Updated 5 months, 3 weeks ago.

Malvertising is a type of cyber attack that involves using online advertising as a means to spread malware. This is attractive to attackers because it allows them to easily reach a large number of users without having to directly compromise the websites hosting the ads. The ads themselves can be inserted into reputable and high-profile websites, which can help attackers bypass network security measures and reach users who may not be as vigilant about protecting themselves online.

By using malvertising, attackers can exploit the trust that users have in the websites they visit and the ads they see, making it an effective and stealthy way to spread malware.
