Yeah, I do @musllibc, FOSS & infosec stuff. But now is not the time for a mostly-/only-tech Twitter feed.

Really disheartening how many people have been seeing these constantly & thought the issue was theirs, that their phones were hacked or something. I have the tech knowledge to know it’s not on my end, but publishers? Your audience is vexed, trust is undermined. You gonna fix it?
As a small, independent publisher, I can say 1) these have appeared on my site, and 2) I have zero control over these ads—or even knowledge of when they show up, though I sometimes see them myself. I work with an ad network and even they seem powerless to stop them.
I think it can be solved - instead of running their js in your page context, fetch it and run it in your own embedded, sandboxed js interpreter and block malicious functionality.
As a writer and journalist, even one who's built my site from scratch (on MT, and then WordPress), that's far above my ability. And if it was easy, wouldn't an ad network's techs be able to do it? I think header bidding may have some effect—but I don't understand how that works.
Absolutely. I'm commenting more from the standpoint of what ppl on my side (tech) could do/offer.
Ad networks don't want to do this tho unless/until the market forces them. They make huge revenue off scams/malvertising.
That's distressing. I certainly don't want that revenue, since earning a few cents but losing a reader is worth far less than having that person return again and again.
For you/the publisher of course that's the calculus. But for the ad network they're not worried about losing you, because they know you depend on them & their competitors are just as bad.
