Ways To Avoid Malvertising Attacks

Malvertising is a compound term merging ‘malicious’ and ‘advertising.’ It refers to the practice where cybercriminals use online advertising to distribute malware without the user’s knowledge. Malvertisers have various objectives, often associated with monetary gains, stealing sensitive information, or simply spreading harmful malware. They exploit vulnerabilities to lead users to phishing sites or deliver ransomware directly to users’ systems.
