[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 551139, member: 7463"] As we know ransomware (especially Cerber and Locky, the two most common ransomware types currently) are more commonly spread by maladvertising via exploit kits (the most common vectors being Java and Shockwave/Flash) which means that a person does not have to click on anything to get infected by the malware- the script politely will run the malware executable for you (isn't that nice!). Point being that stating not to click an executable and you are safe isn't very true currently. And, Oh Yeah- it's not user error if an Ad network sells infected advertising to unsuspecting websites; maybe it is time to cast blame in other directions than an innocent user. [/QUOTE]
