What is Malvertising
Malvertising is a type of cyber attack that uses online advertising to spread malicious or maliciously crafted code to unsuspecting users. Malvertising has become increasingly popular with cybercriminals as a way to spread malware, viruses, ransomware, or other malicious software.
Malvertising is especially dangerous because it is often difficult for users to recognize malicious ads and can be spread quickly and widely via web browsers, social media platforms, and other websites.
How do Malvertising attacks work?
Malvertising attacks typically involve a malicious online advertisement that redirects users to malicious websites, downloads malicious software on their computers, or performs other malicious activities. The malicious ads may look like legitimate advertisements, but they can be used to spread malicious software.
Use of Malvertising
Malvertising can be used to spread malware such as ransomware, banking Trojans, keyloggers, malware that steals personal information, and other malicious software. Malvertising often takes advantage of vulnerabilities in the web browser, operating system, or other software running on the user’s computer.
Example of Malvertising
For example, the malicious code may exploit a security vulnerability in the web browser or operating system to gain access to the user’s computer. Once the malicious code has gained access, it can perform various malicious activities, such as stealing data, installing additional malware, or encrypting files
