Probably should be a chain, so you sue Forbes, Forbes sues the ad network and the network sues the advertiser.
In reality, Forbes lawyers would beat you with a big stick and demonstrate that their public terms and conditions that nobody reads, absolve themselves from any responsibility!
I'm not sure I buy that having a terms page and me viewing some other page on their site constitutes an agreement that absolves Forbes.com from liability or protects them from you suing them.
I believe this is an example where all parties in the chain from malware>Ad network>Forbes can be held liable. You could decide to sue any and all parties that delivered the malware /biz law 101 guess

I agree with you, but their $1000 per hour lawyer probably doesn't care what we think.
