How To Protect Yourself from websites that serve malware

*So, I will be going over the basics and fundamentals of knowing how to stay protected when going to websites with malware.

Now a days Cyber criminals known as "Black Hat" Hackers are infecting major websites with malware. For Example New York Times, BBC, MSN,Answers.com,AOL.com and thousands of other sites are being infected to serve malicious ads to visitors.Most of time, people who visit these certain sites may click on that ad which launches automated attacks against their computers using Angler exploit kit.

Angler exploit kit, once infected will either install the TeslaCrypt ransomware or Bedep Trojan. Users either found their files locked and held for some ransom, or got a flood of other malware on their system.

Hackers brought expired domains of legitimate online marketing companies. They then use those certain domains to appear as valid businesses and purchase ad space on a huge number of ad networks including Google's doubleclick, Adnxs, Rubicon, AOL, AppNexus and Taggify.

_Here is how to protect yourself against these ads_

One of the best ways to protect yourself from this type of malware is by keeping your browser and computer operating system updated with the latest patches. Also make sure to keep antivirus software updated with the latest virus definitions.This leaves fewer security holes for hackers to break through.
