We have now entered an age where you can lose your files, photos, and music simply by visiting a reputable website.

Earlier this year, the Huffington Post unwittingly served up a malicious Hugo Boss advert to its visitors. The ad infected visitors' machines with the Cryptowall ransomware, which encrypted the users' files and extorted money from them to get their files back. The scary part? The user didn't have to click on anything to become infected. Since then, more occurrences of Malvertising have been reported.

What is going on, and how can you protect yourself?

The Small Business Community Network (SBCN) has, for many years, offered the Members of the SBCN a chance to showcase their expertise via their blogs/articles, and more recently, videos, on the Home Page of the Small Business Community Network home page. That is quite an opportunity, and if you know anything about content marketing, or have read what Arriana Huffington has to say about sharing your content on line, you will definitely agree!
