On this occasion, the attackers were attempting to generate money for themselves by engaging in click fraud - but it's clear that the malware could easily have been modified to spread more serious threats such as ransomware or spyware.

Researchers at Proofpoint, who discovered the attack, report that both PornHub and Traffic Junky acted swiftly to fix the problem after they were notified.
