Cyber criminals are infecting major websites with malware now a days.
The Angler exploit kit, once infected, will either roll out the TeslaCrypt ransomware or Bedep Trojan.
While malicious ads are not a new phenomenon, the newly found infections are alarming.
The hackers installed these codes in the ads on big domains to infect views with malware.
The code had a unique feature to avoid infection on machines that had specific anti virus tools installed.
Also keep your antivirus software updated with latest virus definitions.
This leaves fewer security holes for hackers to break through.
You should also update any web app plug-ins you use, such as Adobe Flash or Java.
Even better, uninstall these plug-ins or set them to only run when you allow it.
