Original: Da inzwischen ja ein Haupteinfallspfad für Malware das # Malvertising (schadcodetransportierende Werbung via Ad-Netzwerk
A German-language post argues that malvertising — advertising that delivers malicious code through ad networks — has become a main entry point for malware. The author says advertising has shifted from being a nuisance to an actual threat, which means ad blockers are no longer just a nice-to-have but essential self-defence for everyday internet users.
Why now: Rising concern over malicious ads distributed through mainstream ad networks is prompting renewed debate about ad blockers as a security measure.
