LEGACY: Click-Fraud Report

LAST UPDATED:  2021-04-01

LEGACY REPORT

Report discontinued.

This report identifies click-fraud attempts, which we see when botnets are given the direction to click on revenue-generating URLs.

This is frequently done either to change the results of searches, or to generate specific revenue for the criminals; they may also have been contracted to generate the selections.
