Study: Discover-Tech helped spread spyware through targeted advertising
The Israeli advertising agency Discover-Tech, according to research by Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto in Canada and the New York company Confiant, helped spread spyware through targeted online advertising. Researchers call this mechanism the first technically confirmed zero-click attack: infection did not require clicking on the ad or following a link; this type of attack is also referred to in the report as AdFection.
