You’re on a real website. So how did a scam get in?

It’s called malvertising — and it happens on sites you trust every day

1
You open a real, trusted website

You’re on a news site, a recipe page, or even a government site — somewhere you’ve been dozens of times. Nothing looks wrong.

2
A scammer buys an ad on that page

The website earns money by showing ads. Scammers pay to place their own ad — disguised as something normal, like a software update or a security warning.

3
One click takes you somewhere dangerous

The moment you click that ad — or sometimes just by it loading — Google Firefox is redirected to a scam page. The real website had nothing to do with it.

🛡
Jortty Shield steps in

Before the scam page can load fully in Firefox, Jortty recognises the pattern and shows you a calm warning. You never see the scary content — just a clear explanation and a safe way back.

💡

This is called malvertising (malicious advertising). It’s one of the most common ways scammers reach people on legitimate websites — and it’s completely invisible until it’s too late. Jortty Shield watches for it automatically in Mozilla Firefox.
