Watch Out for Google Searches - "Malvertising" Is on the Rise!

December 17, 20243 min read

Protect Your Business from Malvertising with CMIT Solutions of Dallas

Cyber threats come in many forms, and one of the most common is malvertising—malicious online ads designed to deceive users. From Google searches to social media feeds, malvertising is everywhere. In fact, malvertising increased by 42% month over month in late 2023, according to Malwarebytes.

With hackers leveraging AI to make these ads more convincing, it’s critical to understand the risks and know how to protect yourself. At CMIT Solutions of Dallas, we’re here to help you stay secure.


What Is Malvertising?

Malvertising involves using online ads for malicious purposes. These ads often mimic legitimate promotions but direct users to fraudulent websites designed to steal credentials, credit card information, or worse.

For example, when the PlayStation 5 was released, cybercriminals created fake ads that led users to copycat sites posing as legitimate retailers. Even platforms like Google and social media struggle to catch these ads before they cause harm.


Tips to Protect Yourself from Malvertising

While malvertising can be difficult to spot, these tips can help you stay safe:

1. Review URLs Carefully

Before clicking, inspect the URL for signs of tampering, such as misspellings or unusual characters. Hackers often create fake sites that closely resemble real ones.

2. Visit Websites Directly

Avoid clicking ads altogether. If a sale or promotion interests you, navigate to the company’s website directly by typing the URL into your browser.

3. Use a DNS Filter

DNS filters can block malicious websites before they load. If you accidentally click a malvertising link, the filter redirects you to a warning page, keeping you safe.

4. Avoid Logging in After Clicking an Ad

If you click an ad and are prompted to log in, don’t. Malvertising often directs users to fake login pages to steal credentials. Instead, open a new browser tab and log in directly on the company’s official site.

5. Don’t Call Phone Numbers in Ads

Some ads include fake phone numbers designed to scam callers. Never provide personal information over the phone to numbers listed in online ads.

6. Avoid Downloading from Ads

Ads offering “free software” or “free PC cleaners” are often traps. Clicking the download link could infect your system with malware. Stick to trusted sources for downloads.

7. Warn Others About Suspicious Ads

If you encounter a suspicious ad, alert colleagues, friends, or family. Sharing your knowledge helps build a more cyber-aware community and reduces the risk for others.


Take Action to Secure Your Online World

Is your business equipped to handle online threats like malvertising? Ask yourself:

  • Are all your devices updated with the latest security patches?

  • Do you have reliable anti-malware software?

  • Is DNS filtering in place to block dangerous websites?

If you’re unsure, CMIT Solutions of Dallas is here to help. Our cybersecurity experts can implement affordable solutions tailored to your business needs, ensuring you stay safe from malvertising and other online threats.

"CMIT has given me peace of mind in my business by providing me with ongoing protection, monitoring and an invaluable resource of providing technical help 24/7 if needed. They have assisted me with various technical needs in my business and I appreciate small businesses supporting other small businesses in our community."

"CMIT sent Leslie out to deal with my computer issue - which she handled so fast I can't remember now what it was! Leslie was patient, informative, and engaged me with confidence and relief. She did not talk down to me as if I didn't have a modicum of sense - electronically - but instead was in a teaching mode. I'm so glad to know I can call CMIT whenever I have a problem and allay my fear!"

"Every business NEEDS Carmen and Jaime with CMIT Solutions. They have taken my business to the next level and I am so grateful to have them on our team. It's like having our own personal IT department. We are more productive, more professional, and ready to worry about things other than IT. As a construction company - it is not in our wheelhouse to manage this side of the business and as a small business it's not super easy to know who to contact. They are affordable and knowledgeable and can easily take any business to where they envision. They come with my highest recommendation."
