Forbes forces readers to turn off ad blockers, promptly serves malware

What happened to Forbes isn't unique; The New York Times, The Huffington Post, and a number of other high-profile sites have been hit by similar attacks over the years. What sets Forbes apart, however, is that the site is actively attempting to block people from using ad-blocking software, even though we have an increasing amount of evidence that suggests such software can meaningfully protect users.

In the 1983 movie WarGames, the protagonist (a high school student) deliberately gets into trouble so he can get sent to the principal's office and find the password (on a sticky note attached to the desk!) needed to change his grades.
