There are different types of social engineering attacks. A
phishing site might trick users into revealing their personal
information (for example, passwords, phone numbers, or credit cards).
Deceptive content, such as an ad that falsely claims that device software
is out-of-date, might trick users into installing unwanted software.
A social engineering attack happens when either:
The content pretends to act, or looks and feels, like a trusted entity ?
like a browser, operating system, bank, or government.
The content tries to trick you into doing something you?d only do for a
trusted entity ? like sharing a password, calling tech support, or downloading software.
Its not about the banners.Itīs about the links/landingpages.

Hi,
Doing some test
1. premium site (50K traffic) with 2 adnetworks and they use this kind of banners with random links.
2. Premium site (27K traffic) with own "similar " banner that goes to affiliate program that offers Download movies or watch streaming.
Lets see what Mr. Google does
