Duration: 30 minutes
With all eyes turned to the latest information on the COVID-19 pandemic, scammers are stepping up their efforts to deliver malware. In fact, active malware attacks have increased by 18% since the virus started making headlines in early February. Now cybercriminal groups are leveraging the public’s fear and leaping onto any opportunity they can to trick desktop and mobile users into downloading malware for their nefarious purposes. Attacks on users are only expected to grow as more global communities are affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. But not every ad or piece of content in the advertising ecosystem is bad, and people in adtech and publishing know that the struggle is real and impacts the bottom line.
