US Senator Ron Wyden writes to White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Rob Joyce. Wyden: Malvertising has often been used by cyber-espionage groups to deliver malware to specific targets. Malvertising campaigns like Stegano, DNSChanger or AdGholas have shown how efficient and sometimes extremely creative they can be at delivering all sorts of malware. The Oregon Senator is urging the White House cyber chief to coordinate discussions with members of the advertising industry and develop a plan to end the delivery of malicious ads to government computers.
