Malware/Virus Ad Issue Fixed
Thanks to all your reports, I was able to identify the company that was able to sneak a malware advertisement into our network.

I've pulled the ad. Moving forward I will put an embargo on all advertising from companies that (1) I don't have years of experience with or (2) That aren't from fandom-related websites.

I do check all incoming ads for malicious code, this one was just VERY well hidden. The software I used to scan it wasn't good enough.

This was a scammer who setup a fake corporate website, pretended to handle advertising for another company, sent a banner ad for that other company (a decoy) and then hid evil code within it. From my research I've found that the scammer is based in Eastern Europe, which makes any sort of justice impossible.
