I tried to warn you last year about clicking on Google Ads in search results but it appears those warnings have gone unheeded as hackers are still using malicious ads to infect unsuspecting users with malware.

Malvertising or malicious advertising has become increasingly popular among cybercriminals as phishing attacks and bad apps just aren’t as effective as they used to be. Instead, hackers are now buying ad space on Google Search and other search engines as a means to trick users into installing malware.
