The Evolution of Digital Ad Fraud
Modern fraudsters use layered and automated systems to exploit weaknesses in ad networks. Below are some of the most common and damaging tactics used today:
Domain Spoofing: Fraudsters impersonate legitimate domains, tricking advertisers into paying for fake impressions.
Ad Injection & Malware: Malware secretly injects ads into real web pages, diverting impressions to fraudulent sites.
Data Center Traffic & Proxy Networks: Botnets mask their origins through proxy servers, creating Sophisticated Invalid Traffic that looks authentic.
Click Hijacking & Attribution Fraud: Bots manipulate clicks and conversions to redirect credit away from real sources.
