This has been demonstrated to be wrong (see: every time there's malware on an ad network).
- londons_explore 7y agoThere has been no instance of malware on an ad network (that I know of). The malware has been in an ad creative, and those are sandboxed. The malware has usually exploited weaknesses in the browser, but if there weren't browser exploits, it still wouldn't get access to the host page. Such browser exploits are getting harder to find with things like per-domain processes isolation in Chromium based browsers.
- krageon 7y agoThe only thing creative here is the imagination that the ad network is not responsible for the content it serves, though I recognise we may just have fundamentally different outlooks on responsibility. If that is the case, I feel like discussing it further is not going to help either one of us.
