Robotraff: A Hacker's Go-To For Clicks

Brian Krebs writes on Security Fix:

Anyone who doubts that Internet click fraud has become a big money maker should take a look at a Russian Web site called Robotraff.com, which bills itself as "the first stock exchange of Web traffic."

Set up a free account at Robotraff and you're ready to buy or sell Web traffic. Got 30,000 hacked personal computers under your thumb? Super! Now you can use those systems to generate a steady income just by pointing them at Web sites requested by a buyer.

Or maybe you're just getting started and you can't be bothered to build your own army of hacked PCs the old-fashioned way? No problem! Now you can set up a Web site that tries to exploit Web browser or browser plug-in vulnerabilities and simply buy all the traffic you need.
