The hidden danger in online ads: Why Malaysians must stay vigilant网络广告中隐藏的危险：为什么马来西亚人必须保持警惕
Letter from Ts Dr Mohd Fairuz Iskandar Othman, senior lecturer, Faculty of Information and Communication Technology, Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka
WHAT if simply reading the news, checking the weather or using a mobile application could expose your smartphone to spyware?
For years, Malaysians have been reminded to avoid suspicious links, unknown attachments and fraudulent websites. These remain important cybersecurity practices. However, a recent international investigation has revealed a more troubling possibility: sophisticated spyware can be delivered through online advertisements that we encounter every day.
Thank you for your report!

如果仅仅是阅读新闻、查看天气或使用手机应用程序就可能使你的智能手机面临间谍软件的攻击，那会怎样？
多年来，马来西亚民众一直被提醒要避免点击可疑链接、打开未知附件和访问欺诈网站。这些仍然是重要的网络安全措施。然而，最近一项国际调查揭示了一种更令人担忧的可能性：复杂的间谍软件可以通过我们每天遇到的网络广告传播。
感谢您的报告！
