- shiroiushi 2y agoI would hope that this results in websites hosting malicious ads which harm users, which then results in a big lawsuit against these websites with a huge payout for the harmed users. After all, if the malware ad is being effectively hosted by the site, then the site should be legally responsible.
- Pxtl 2y agoThe upside is that it would only really impact their interaction with that specific site, not with anything else (unless there's opportunity for lateral moves because of SSO or the site hosts email and so they could hack password resets or something). My dream scenario would be this happening to an in-company administrative user with the keys to the kingdom. Imagine an ad-ridden site like Fandom.com getting hacked in that way.
