Online advertising and impression fraud
I admit, I have seen this carry-on before, and it seems to be more common nowadays (or maybe we’re just keeping a closer eye-out for it) but I had not seen as extreme an example as that demonstrated by Mike Nolet on his blog.
You can see a video of the fraud, as it happens, here:

BTW, Wayne Porter has the same video:

BTW, did you spot the Norton alert that warned that an “a recent attempt to attack your computer was blocked”? It makes me wonder what else was going on in that capture…
