Cybercrime abuses Facebook paid advertisements

A reading of an interesting study on the criminal abuse of Facebooks Paid Sponsor Ads system to deliver nefarious websites to the users. Cybercriminals are paying Facebook to obtain sponsored advertisement space which is presented to the user without request or choice. The most popular registrar found during the investigation is Godaddy which is primarily used to register pseudo-random Zombie Redirector sites. Most of the content delivery sources are Chinese CDN networks using mainly US hosting companies to deliver their fraudulent content.”]
