What Is Malvertising?
Malvertising is the use of online advertisements to spread malware or direct users to malicious websites. These ads often appear legitimate and can be found on popular search engines, well-known websites, and social media feeds. A common example is an ad that mimics an official brand's website to trick you into entering personal information or credit card details.
Tips for Protecting Yourself from Malicious Ads
Check URLs Carefully
Malicious websites often use URLs with subtle misspellings or extra characters to mimic legitimate sites. Always review the URL before clicking a link or entering any information.
Visit Websites Directly
The safest way to avoid malvertising is to go directly to a brand's official website rather than clicking on an ad. If a deal or product is real, it will be featured on their official site.
Use a DNS Filter
A DNS filter acts as a security barrier. It will block your browser from accessing dangerous sites, even if you accidentally click a malicious ad.
Never Log in from an Ad
If an ad takes you to a login page, do not enter your credentials. Malicious sites often look identical to the real thing and are designed to steal your username and password. Instead, open a new browser tab and navigate to the site yourself.
Avoid Downloads from Ads
Never download software, even popular programs, directly from an online ad. These downloads are often malware in disguise that can infect your system.
