Fraudsters Skim Millions
From Advertisers, Then
Disappear
Scheme Shows How Easy It Is to Steal
Money From the Ad-Tech Ecosystem
“By the time CCM got caught in March, it was generating at least $1.5 million
dollars a month, according to online video security firm Telemetry, which uncovered
the scam by noticing that nearly all of CCM's traffic originated from five internet
service providers used by businesses, not by consumers. High traffic volume from
business ISPs is a strong hint something is amiss.”

TubeMogul discovered three new
botnets—Blog Bot, Annex Bot and 411
Bot—that are alarming in their
sophistication, TubeMogul’s chief
strategist Jason Lopatecki said.
“There were three major bots identified
that haven’t been reported yet,”
Lopatecki said. “They’re using a
number of technologies that haven’t
been seen before. So the complexity is
getting bigger with each generation of
fraud.”
