Android ad fraud scheme drained users’ batteries and data
[ad_1] Protected Media, one of the anti-fraud firms that discovered the scheme, absolved Twitter of any wrongdoing — the social network itself was merely exploited by the fraud’s masterminds. Upon investigating the fraudulent ads, the firm named Israeli company Aniview and its subsidiary OutStream Media as part of the scheme. Outstream created the banners and […]
