Adwords Tracking - Sofizar Finds Security Flaw in Google AdWords Pay Per Click Service
Thursday, February 9 2006 at 15:54
Sofizar, a company specializing in Click Fraud Detection Services announced today that it has identified a vulnerability in Google’s Pay Per Click ( PPC ) location based advertisements. The Google location based service is meant to display Pay Per Click ( PPC ) advertisements only in the advertiser designated locations. However, a back door allows a malicious user or automated programs in a non designated area to click on the advertisement, potentially causing grievous losses. Furthermore, Google charges the advertisers for these clicks, even though Google does not record the advertisement impression. This vulnerability has been reported to Google.
