“ESPN Sports Bad Code
ESPN’s Soccernet site hosted a malicious advertisement that, ultimately, led to PerformanceOptimizer.com, which in turn displayed numerous popups alleging problems with the victim’s system and offering a solution.
Yep — ad networks strike again! It simply amazes me how willing sites are to allow someone else to decide what its customers are going to see when they come to a site. That’s precisely what you’re doing if you subscribe to an ad network. Revenue is a necessary component to any successful Web site, but there needs to be some additional steps taken to ensure your customers’ experiences on your own site are good ones.”
Cool!
