Advertising is malware.
I caught the COVID from the Yellow Pages! It’s a Communist plot!
Yet more evidence that aggressive adblocking is cyber security.
Is it necessary to click on the ad? Or is it enough to go to the web page where the ad is displayed?
I think the implication is zero-click exploit.
But if that’s the case it should be fairly simple to reverse engineer whichever exploit they’re using.

“I’m sorry for the Israeli spyware comment I made earlier. It was insensitive, but they offered me $200 for it, what was I supposed to do? It was the right move and I stand by it.”
As usual, excellent stock photo enhancing the story here.
Adblocker, VPN /wireguard, Firewall and my little brother knows Linux! Ha! I’m safe!
I love Linux, but don’t assume you aren’t vulnerable to malware because you use it. There’s plenty of Linux malware these days, since so many servers run Linux.
Not to mention a VPN does absolutely fuck all to protect you from malware.
