    The domains used in malware attacks are changed practically as soon as they enter the blacklists. I've seen zero-click attacks deployed via Google Adsense banner ads that worked on Chrome and on Firefox. Maybe 2 years ago you had to actually click on the malwareware to get infected, but I'm seeing zero-interaction pwnage these days.
