Ok I remember the situation now..

Someone was spreading spyware.. The technology behind it was it was triggered when a surfer hit a site that had the sextracker counter on it..

It was not the sextracker counter persay doing the action.. It was the adware-exploit that was previously installed via some other site or method.. Then when it was installed, whenever the surfer would hit a site with the tracker on it, it would hijack the surfer taking em to the popups or the dialers..

At the time it was written on that sextracker was just as much a victum of this act as we were..

I still till this day feel that they had nothing to do with this..

But yeah Ive heard stories, and of other unrelated things.. That Bama guy is a smart fucker. If he's programing for Sextracker's counter the sky is the limit.

But truthfully that hijacking issue some years back was just way too blatant and no way would Sextracker involve themselves in that..

As if they have ever touched adware in the past, yeah wouldnt suprise me.. But to what extent?? And is it really to the extent of concern??

Probably not.
