and again Flash is the scapegoat
"By converting unsafe flash-based ads to safe HTML5 ads, they lower the risk of infection from a hostile ad." is laughable at best
An Ad Network is one of the fastest way to deliver a payload to a lot of users
Don't fool yourself, Operating Systems, Browsers and HTML5/JS also have a hell lot of CVE that can be exploited
It's funny how a company like Google making Billions from ads, having ton of smart engineers, have never figured out during the last decade how to "scan ads for malware".
It's not like anyone can upload an ad to those big network, or that they don't QA the ads before delivering them ...
Imagine this unlikely scenario: malware delivered by HTML5/JS
I guess we'll all have to run for the hills if that happen
