What Is Malvertising? Simply put, malvertising is a way of “lacing” a genuine-looking advertisement with malicious code. This can either be an execution of code that talks to a malicious server and downloads malware to the victims PC or one that redirects the user to an infected website.

Regardless of the way the attack plays out, all malvertising attacks have one goal: to strike at computers via advertising....

Password Complexity Misses the Point Password “strength” is often just a function of complexity, or the amount of randomness in a password, measured by the use of symbols, numbers, and upper and lowercase.
