I’ve talked about malvertising a fair bit at security events down the years and I was lucky enough to be able to add to the tally at this month’s BSides Manchester conference. Whether your preferred variety is desktop, mobile, or even virtual/augmented reality, there’s hopefully something here for everyone.
“Malvertising: under the hood” covers the following topics:
- Malvertising definition
- Publisher/advertiser numbers
- From old ads to new
- Fake advertisers and domain shadowing
- Domain imitation
- Cloned ads
- Malvertising gateways
- Bad ad excuses
- Ad blocking wars
- Mobile antics
- VR / AR
