What steps does WIRED.com take to prevent malware?
We test every direct and programmatic advertisement for malicious tags using a combination of automated scanning and manual review. We use technology from Advalidation, DFP, The Media Trust, and more to programmatically scan for malicious code. We require our programmatic partners to use HTTPS, which protects the privacy and security of our users. In addition, we use IAB’s SafeFrame to further secure the line of communication between our site and ads, and provide an ads.txt file to ensure transparency in our programmatic advertising providers.
(Since we started testing we have not discovered any malware or received any complaints.)
