Google Adsense, Affiliate Programs and Credit Card Fraud

bens · 02-02-2008

I came across an article. Fraudsters create legitimate adsense accounts then click their ads and purchase products using stolen credit card information. Part of the scheme is also to sign up with affiliate accounts so they can also earn from commissions. This is a clever modus operandi.

Really? I'm somewhat interested about reading this article. Could you post a link? This just goes to show the minds of hackers/schemers or whatever you might call them is developing just as fast as programmers develop their sites. The neverending war between hacker and programmer is getting bigger and is starting to occur more than ever before.
