Wasn't there a report like this about Forbes and malware a few months ago? Have they responded in press? (Hopefully on Medium so I can read it.)

  As far as I've seen, content publishers' response to being caught distributing malware is to say "It's the ad network's fault! We'll work with them to clean it up." They never name the ad network and no changes will be implemented. The only way to protect yourself is to install an ad blocker.

    C: Excuse me? Are you the produce manager? M: Yes, that's me. C: Oh, good. Yesterday, I bought a banana here. When I got it home, I discovered there was a bomb in it. M: I'm only the produce manager. I don't deal with bombs. C: But the bomb was *in* the banana. M: How was it? C: How was what? M: The banana. Not bruised or overripe or anything? C: No, the banana was fine. It was a perfectly normal banana. ...with a bomb in it. M: Ah, good. Another satisfied customer. C: I am *not* satisfied! I could have been killed! M: Were you? C: Obviously not! M: So what's the problem? C: There was a bomb in my banana! M: Well, we just sell the bananas as we get them, from the banana-modifying company. C: Why can't you just get your bananas direct from the plantation? Why can't I get an unaltered, unmodified banana--without any bombs in it? M: Excuse me, sir or madam, but this is a *business*. How do you expect us to pay our employees with a store full of unmodified bananas? C: [facepalm]

  I think this is reporting on the same incident. The comments on the article are dated from early January.
