- cogman10 9mo agoSure, but that's ultimately a pretty unlikely attack vector. An attacker still needs to exploit some unknown vulnerability of your web browser in order to get something malicious going. I basically expect that sort of attack to only be pulled off by a state actor or by a black hat convention for the lolz.

I'm not alone: https://superuser.com/questions/902635/isp-is-inserting-ads-into-web-pages https://superuser.com/questions/902635/isp-is-inserting-ads-... Ads injection is a relatively benign kind of tampering. It could be much more creative and sinister.
