Attachment: Screenshot of the ad

I'm unsure where to file this, so hoping it will find the right place.

I was on http://damnyouautocorrect.com and noticed an ad that is essentially attempting to spoof a Firefox error message in an attempt to get users to click.  I have attached a screenshot.
Beyond being deceptive & damaging to Firefox's image, this might also be considered a security issue.

Ultimately, I copied the link of the ad as it was an image: http://adserving.cpxinteractive.com/clk?3,eAGljd1Og0AQhZ-GO9Is-wM0xIutloYUaLGLjd4Y2C6UKj.CWqFP7wLqC3gymUy-mXPGQE5GiAkxtiC2IbYEdgxEIDR5im1TB47jIMsCJjYIxPonjSjdprttdL8.-zadtM4GX-FJOfXoWKP2037j5vEt.JpRXa2X8.TfvgLZ4-9T9S-f8z7SsPMu8eovfROQ56NnBCwffBaR8OLJgLnvwQGQ3THufcbxCzu9BeypDBgn4U-O8t.p-lnKRkNUg66q5NSJ9lpU-YI3fVFJ0SZcFlex4HWp1p3UkLp5lUMjNPRQZG1SCg2aCnXFbUQIgB4SoFgnlLOuFIMWWtqW.Q0yNHAg,
