I'm a freelancer and work from home, so it's all my problem. 

You might have noticed that the eWEEK (a Ziff-Davis Enterprise pub,
different company than Ziff-Davis Media which publishes PCMag) web site
was caught serving malicious PDFs about a year ago through a malicious
fake ad. I was the one who found it debugged the problem (I don't write
for them anymore). There's plenty of holes in the system.
