Researchers have very low false-positive rate when analyzing past data.

According to multiple sources, the satellite is no longer tumbling.

This method of monetizing a botnet by openly selling proxy access is rather unusual. It's a departure from the old standbys: clickfraud and randsomware.

The going rate for YouTube Views on Fiverr is around $5 per 3000.

I would love to see a company that would:
1.Allow customers to make a single monthly payment, which would be distributed among participating websites according to some metric like pageviews or time-on-site
