Malvertising: How the ad model makes crime pay

Re: There is an easy fix

Yep. Marketing bosses only care about privacy as much as the typical windows user. They DO care when they realize ad+tracking+analytics bloat is driving away users and lowering their SEO scores. OTOH, doing anything about it seems to be a low priority even for the move-fast-n-break-things hotshot startups.

So, back in reality... BLOCKING, not prosecution, is the solution. Everyone should use ad blockers. All of us should be preaching the gospel of ad blocking, installing it every time we see a friend's computer without it, and, heh, adding popups to our websites to complain if a user's NOT using adblock. Muahahaha.
