- Josh Zeitz, vice president of communications for AppNexus, said via email on Tuesday that the advertiser that placed the bad ad had been “deactivated” soon after the company was notified by Segura. The bad ad had not been placed directly through AppNexus, but instead came from a third party, Zeitz said. AppNexus has an anti-malware detection system called Sherlock it uses to screen ads and also uses a filtering product from a third-party vendor, Zeitz wrote. “We devote considerable financial resources to safeguarding our customers,” Zeitz wrote. “Unfortunately, bad actors also invest considerably in developing new forms of malware.”
