  16. "If you've ever needed another reason to use an ad-blocker, this is it. By blocking ads, you can prevent pervasive tracking, surveillance, and yes, even malware, from landing on your computer.

    Adform has now disclosed the breach, but the company didn't say how it was initially compromised or how many people may have been affected. When I reached out to the company with questions about the incident, a spokesperson referred me instead to its public statement.

    Per its statement, Adform said it was still investigating if the hackers also took information about which websites a person visited; Adform said the code suggests this was possible.

    I went to check out Adform's statement but couldn't at first, in large part because my ad blocker (uBlock Origin on desktop; Filtr/Wipr on iPhone) prevented Adform's entire domain from loading. Even had I visited a website that contained the malicious Adform code, this shows my ad blocker would have prevented the code from loading."
