Cybercriminals increase Internet advertising click fraud
By Byron Acohido, USA TODAY
Click fraud is on the rise, as cybergangs step up the use of infected PCs to divert advertising dollars into their hands.
In the first three months of this year, 17% to 29% of clicks to online ads were fraudulent, according to separate estimates by Click Forensics and Anchor Intelligence, leading suppliers of click fraud detection technology. That’s up from 15% to 25% in fourth-quarter 2009.
