When cyber criminals can infiltrate ad networks more and more, it will eventually create a distrust between ad viewers and legit ad agencies such as Google. Why? Nobody wants to click on an ad even though it’s legitimate in fear of having a computer virus infection or malware infection. So there you go, it’s up to everyone in making sure that they’re smart enough not to be fooled by stealthy malicious codes that are hidden inside legitimate ads. Recently, Infoworld reports London Stock Exchange is one of the victims among many websites that got fooled by hackers who were able to sneak in malicious codes among legitimate ads. The consequence is that many people who visited those websites could have had their computers infected with something nasty.
