Why does malvertising work?
Each day, a large number of ads are submitted to the various advertising networks throughout the world, making it very difficult for the advertising networks to perform a thorough analysis of each ad. Often advertisers work on a complaint based system, wherein if a complaint is lodged against an ad or ads from a specific group/company a deep analysis is then performed at that time. Many websites, especially large ones with several hundred thousand users per day, rely on third party vendors and software in order to display its ads, which in turn reduces the direct oversight and the amount of vetting that takes place. This automation makes online ads vulnerable to malvertising.
In addition, it is very difficult for cybersecurity experts to identify exactly which ad is malicious because the ads on a webpage constantly change. This means that one visitor may be infected, but the next ten, who visit the exact same webpage, wont be infected.
As you see it can happen to any website. Lets see how to combat this disgusting threat.
How To Combat It
Unfortunately, due to the way this attack vector works, it is quite difficult for users to protect themselves against it. The best course of action is to ensure that all utilized software and extensions (particularly the web browser, as well as Flash and Java) are kept up-to-date. Where possible, if your browser allows for it disable the use of Flash or set it to require user interaction in order to run. When browsing the Internet, make sure to close browser windows when not in use, since this will minimize the number of ads displayed and minimize the likelihood of a malicious ad appearing. Consider the use of an add-on ad blocker in order to block automated scripts from running on visited websites.
