Cyber Scoop is reporting that a meth suspect got picked up a year after charges were filed/. Another Methbot suspect, Sergey Denisoff, arrested more than a year after initial charges is the article.
Police in New York City this month arrested Sergey Denisoff on charges that he allegedly helped members of the Methbot ad fraud crew by setting up dummy web pages where other conspirators could direct illegitimate traffic. Members then charged U.S. advertising companies for access to visitors who didn’t actually exist.
This is becoming more of a problem now, and I don’t know what the solution is on dealing with this. There’s more to this article, and it was a very interesting story, but we can’t fight this alone. Add networks are being bilked out of money with schemes like this, and I don’t believe this is the first time this has happened and it won’t be the last.
