Presented at BlackHatDC 2010 by
This presentation shows how hackers are recruiting hundreds of affiliates to join their Pay Per Install Affiliate Programs. While purporting to be programs that merely install adware, they are actually scams to install some of the most malicious malware and spyware out on the market today. I will present different PPI programs as well as the forums where there are guides posted and tips on how to be successful in this business. I will also uncover some of the details of the people running these sites and some stats on how much money is being made.
