Hijacked Web Traffic For Sale

mask.of.sanity writes "If you can't create valuable content to attract users to your site, Russian cyber criminals will sell them to you. A web store has been discovered that sells hacked traffic that has been redirected from legitimate sites. Sellers inject hidden iframes into popular web sites and redirect the traffic to a nominated domain. Buyers purchase the traffic from the store to direct to their sites and the sellers get paid."

Here's a question. How mentally retarded are you? Is it the point where your head is as large as a watermelon? Do you need to wear a hockey helmet to avoid further injury? Do you have at least bowel control?

Because most non-retarded people could understand the difference between scripts added by the site owners for advertising or promotion purposes versus those illicitly embedded by russian hackers.
