juicyads.com + veniam.info = $12..$15 for 1K of Russinan traffic + ban by Kaspersky
 

Somebody bought high bids on juicyads.com for Russian traffic and sends it to android malware at veniam.info. Everyone who visits that site from their phones/tabs receives an SMS saying he/she has been subscribed for a paid content (veniam.info/done.php).

Have juicyads at your site? Get ready to be blocked by major antivirus software (Kaspersky etc). You've been warned.

thank you for looking out for us, I have forwarded this thread to our tech team and will have Jay update this thread

Looking at it .. will be taking action shortly.

Signs of the times :2 cents:

It would be great if services such as Plugrush and Juicyads could build in a tier system according to a combination of longevity, total dollar amount spent, and number of ads ran. Then allow publishers to specify minimum criteria for ads to show up on their site. I feel like a sitting duck when I put the ads, plugs, mobile redirects or popunders on my sites. It only takes one asshole and then I have users running around saying they got a virus from my site which destroyed their computer and everyone stay away. It's a total disaster if it happens even once a year to one user. Something more proactive is needed than banning people after the fact where they can then probably sign up with another account and site all over again.

I know these changes aren't easy to program in but it's a thought. I believe trafficshop has something much like it set up already.

Thanks for the warning also, Cyberseo. :)

so is this fixed now?

fixed? lol they will get new account, new money source and new site to host malware, it will be hell hard to prevent...

Yeah. This. I think I've worn out my welcome in the past by nattering at Jay in emails and support tickets about the need for better publisher control over the network ads. I'd really like to be able to opt out of rotating network ads entirely on my higher-quality sites, and where I do choose to run network ads, I'd like to be able to make the system entirely opt-in on an ad-by-ad or advertiser-by-advertiser basis, rather than playing ruski roulette every day under the current "opt out after it's too late" system. Why not let publishers choose the portion of the network inventory they're willing to put next to their content, so we don't have to cringe in dreadful anticipation every time we reload our own pages?

Jay's got some high-quality network inventory that I'm pleased to rotate with my own filler ads while I wait for the next paid-spot customer. But unfortunately he's also got a ton of the fuck-a-slut, enlarge-your-penis, free-teen-virgin-cams inventory that I can't have anywhere on my better sites. (Same with PlugRush, this isn't aimed at JuicyAds particularly, it's a problem everywhere that I know of.) It's gotten so hard to filter out the unacceptable inventory that I'm basically to the point of logging in every so often, hitting the "block campaign" button, and blocking all the new campaigns that I see except for the obviously-not-sleazy ones. Needless to say, I'd welcome any innovation that saved me from that chore. :helpme

We have suspended the Advertiser responsible for this. However, as pointed out .. its extremely difficult to manage this. We have one of the most advanced anti-fraud and anti-malware systems (probably the best out of the ad networks, and its not cheap) and multiple layers of protection for our Publishers. Perfection isn't possible but we do our best. In the future it would be more helpful to post this directly to my inbox [email protected] as I generally handle Malware complaints personally.

Forkbeard, I always read your emails and take it all very seriously. Our goal is always to provide the best interface and most control possible. We are in the midst of more upgrades that I won't discuss here, but that will give our Publishers the best control over their ads and their content in the industry.

We never stop upgrading. Also FYI always looking for new programmers.

Happy Friday.

Some people hear much better through their rears rather than their ears. If only legal hammer is brought down in an exemplery manner on these low lifes just once or twice, there will no further need of any more further lessons. This kinda behaviour is no different than trying to finish off your ad network altogether.

I know you do and I've always appreciated it. But I have a tendency to natter about stuff that bugs me, which I've been trying not to subject you to (too much). :)

By the way I've never experienced any malware on the Juicy network. I know it can happen, but it's never happened to me. Which is very much appreciated.

Awesome! Looking forward to that.

let me know when they start buying chinese and turkish traffic at that price:winkwink:
