⚠️ Critical Insight:
Exploit kits now target browsers directly (no plugins). Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari have all had 0-day chains. Patching within 14 days is the absolute minimum. Browser isolation is the gold standard for high-risk users. Ad blockers eliminate 80%+ of risk from legitimate sites.
🚨 The 2024 Reality:
Exploit kits target unpatched browsers and Office (per Microsoft 2024). Malvertising is the #1 drive-by vector (50%+ of attacks). Mobile drive-by is rising (targeting Chrome on Android). WebAssembly cryptominers are extremely common. Compromised ad networks (Taboola, Outbrain) deliver malware. Supply chain watering holes (CDN compromise) hit thousands of sites at once.
⚠️ The Truth:
Just visiting a site is dangerous in 2024. Watering-hole attacks, malvertising, and supply chain compromises (CDN, plugin) affect legitimate sites daily. Browser isolation + ad blocker + patches + EDR is the modern minimum. Zero-trust browsing is the future.
