What Are Some Social Engineering Tricks Misleading Pages Use to Push Unsolicited Ads?
One of the most common social engineering tricks that misleading pages use to push unsolicited ads is to use deceptive language and false claims in order to entice users into clicking on an advertisement.
This tactic usually involves convincing users that they are getting a great deal or offer, even though there is no real benefit for them. For example, a page might claim that a user can get a free trial of a product or service, when in reality there is no free trial being offered.
Another trick that misleading pages may use to push unsolicited ads is to disguise the ad as some kind of content, such as a news article or video. This tactic can be used to make it appear as if the advertisement is part of a legitimate website, when in fact it is an advertisement trying to get users to click on it.
Finally, some pages may even use pop-up ads or banners in order to push unsolicited ads. These are usually placed in inconvenient locations and can be difficult for users to close, which makes them more likely to accidentally click on the ad.
