An investigative report reveals that new spyware can slip in unseen through online ads—and there is currently no defense against it. So not only that online ads are intrusive and can infect devices through malware, they can also be used for spying.

I know, but have you read the article?
Sure did.
Then you would now that it’s a state Trojan just like Pegasus and that exactly such a 0 day that is being sold for large amounts of money.
Edit: actually it doesn’t, but Insanet is a company that sells state Trojans.
And you’re trusting everything an article says about a virus that says there’s no solution?
What’s to stop a black hat buying this to steal identities?
What’s to stop one of the coders from leaking it? Or a black hat leaking it?
What about someone targeting an incorrect target and by doing so it ends up in the hands of someone more nefarious?
Hackers and black markets do what they want.
Can’t afford it? Steal it.
Actually I hope it gets leaked because that would mean it will gets fixed.
Also im pretty against state Trojans and such, but as long as it makes money.
And what’s stopping someone from leaking it? It’s not particularly illegal to sell exploits and leaking exploits owned by someone is illegal. Also they won’t sell it for free and browser exploits are really expensive. I talking about at least half a million dollars.
There is no solution, because nobody except the ones who made it know how it works and its not public.
No ads. No trojan.
That doesn’t fix the issue in the browser
