Over the past couple months, some advertising networks have been distributing ads that redirect browsers to sites hosting exploits.
Spotify’s advertising network was
most recently outed (note that it is the third party banner ads rotating through the client’s ad frames). Most of the redirections we have been been monitoring have sent users to a variety of servers in the .cc TLD. We have been working with providers to ensure the ads aren’t on their networks, but the groups have been active in rotating malvertizing banners through multiple networks.
