Slightly different topic but what are the big ad networks doing these days to address the proliferation of malware across their networks? I've been having a lot of issues with browser hijacking lately from ads that appear to be served from legitimate ad networks (after some cursory investigation namely from Doubleclick), and typically from HN submissions.
I've attempted to report these issues on a number of occasions. But the amount of attention it gets suggests at worse a level of complicity.
- manigandham 8y agoIt's a business problem, not technical. Lack of any regulation or consequences means no real economic incentive to stop malware in the industry. Also most of the malware is not directly on the big networks but specialized and spammy networks that sites run because they pay more.
