Ad Fraud encompasses the deliberate manipulation of digital advertising ecosystems to generate illicit revenue. In the era of generative AI, this has evolved from simple bot traffic to "Pushpaganda" and algorithmic poisoning, where AI-generated content is used to hijack recommendation engines like Google Discover. This tag monitors technical shifts in impression faking, click injection, and the use of malicious redirects to drain marketing budgets and distribute scareware.
