when a site gets hacked, you get malicious content regardless you block ads or not.
- majewsky 11y agoDepends on whether it's the site itself that gets hacked, or the ad network. (The latter is going to be a much more valuable target in practice since it allows malware to spread via multiple sites, not just one.)
- fencepost 11y agoThat depends on whether they hack the site to actually feed the malicious content or just get enough of a foot in to get it linked from an actual hosting location. If what they have is a database hack where they can inject some content but don't have full control, they may be pushing links while trying to get further access.
