Symantec Corp., the world’s leading cyber security company, announced its intelligence assisted an FBI-led law enforcement takedown of cyber criminal rings responsible for a global ad-fraud botnet, resulting in the arrest of three individuals, five additional indictments, and the seizure of infrastructure associated with the 3ve ad-fraud scam. As part of their operations, the alleged fraudsters infected consumer devices across the globe to create a powerful network, allowing them to make money by routing fake internet traffic to advertisers. Symantec was part of an industry group which helped identify infrastructure used by the attackers, including up to 700,000 infected computers and over 1 million IP addresses.
