    I suspect the actual playbook followed here will be borrowed from another IAC property: dotdash.

    SCOOP: Yahoo’s new CEO will be Jim Lanzone, CEO of Tinder. His long-term plans include spinning out verticals like Yahoo Finance and Yahoo Sports or taking the entire company public

    Lead-generation firm EnergyBillCruncher is littering the digital ad ecosystem with shoddy creative that misleads consumers about home solar systems. Ad tech and publishers can help put a stop to it.

    It's weird not being a journalist writing about Nielsen losing its MRC accreditation. At the same time, I'm totally lost to what happens next... TV (including digital TV) measurement seems like a wild west... Or maybe a Mad Max landscape.

    It may seem like some boneheaded mistake when a parked domain is attached to a live ad campaign... But if users can click through, that parked domain is a threat. There are networks just waiting to jump on traffic going to parked domains to drop ransomware or worse.

    If every DSP was as dedicated as Adobe Advertising Cloud to protecting digital consumers, imagine how much better the ad ecosystem—lo, the whole internet!—could be.

    If you’re old school and just focusing on redirects, your audiences are going to get hit with all kinds of nastiness. That’s not including heavy ads and offensive creative. Predictive tech is great, but it’s gotta be matched with scourging the web for malware in the wild 2/

    I totally agree! That’s why a solution like a redirect blocker is only part of a comprehensive malvertising solution. Redirects are definitely a problem, but malicious clickbait, display-based phishing, and compromised landing pages are rising faster 1/
