One solution to mitigate malverising is as transparency. Each as should contain the legal contact details (company name, country) of the advertiser. It does not solve the issue fully, but consumers will surely avoid East European suspicious companies advertising. It will also make it easier for the security researchers to track down bad actors and will bring some liability to the ad platform (Google).

Facebook already does this for political ads, so it is doable.
