Terminology of the fraud world
If we generalize the concept of all fraud traffic, we can identify two main directions:
Ad fraud
These are fraud actions aimed at creating false indicators of advertising campaign effectiveness. This includes fake clicks, impressions, conversions, and other actions that distort real data and lead to financial losses for advertisers.
Bot traffic
Traffic generated by automated programs or bots, not real users. Such bots can mimic user behavior, creating a false impression of advertising popularity.
Ad fraud and bot traffic can significantly reduce the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, leading to wasted expenses and a decrease in trust in advertising platforms.
Main Types of Fraud Fought by Kaminari Click
Fraud can take many forms, each of which requires a specific approach to detection and prevention. To combat various types of fraud in internet traffic, a comprehensive approach is needed, including technological measures, data analysis, and collaboration with trusted partners. Let's consider the main types of fraudulent traffic faced by advertisers and Kaminari Click's recommendations for combating them.
Spoofing
Spoofing or identity spoofing is a method where a bot pretends to be legitimate traffic by falsifying user or browser data. This creates an illusion of interaction by a real user, making it difficult to detect and block such traffic.
Combat Recommendations:
1. User Behavior Analysis. Use tools to analyze user behavior on the website (e.g., scroll speed, time spent on page, clicks). Real users behave differently than bots.
2. Browser Fingerprinting. Apply browser fingerprinting methods to distinguish real devices from fake ones. This includes analyzing unique browser and device characteristics.
3. Multi-Level Authentication. Implement additional authentication layers (e.g., CAPTCHA) to identify automated requests.
Automated Traffic
Automated Traffic is similar to spoofing, but its main feature is the automation of actions on the internet. Bot developers use specialized browsers designed for software testing and development. Scammers compile lists of these user-agents and create bots that mimic real users.
Combat Recommendations:
1. Detection and Blocking of Automated Actions. Use tools like WAF (Web Application Firewall) to monitor and block suspicious actions typical of automated traffic.
2. User-Agent Analysis. Regularly update lists of legitimate and suspicious user-agent strings, and implement dynamic server-side checks to detect suspicious actions.
3. Bot Deception Technologies. Introduce hidden fields or other deception methods that may be visible and filled out only by bots.
Crawlers
Crawlers, such as Googlebot and other search bots, are not malicious, but their activity does not benefit advertising campaigns. They index content for search engines but do not participate in conversions or clicks, making their traffic worthless for advertisers.
Combat Recommendations:
1. robots.txt File. Configure the robots.txt file to restrict access of unnecessary search bots to specific sections of the site, especially those that should not be indexed.
2. Use of Meta Tags. Add noindex and nofollow meta tags to prevent indexing of specific content.
3. Server Log Analysis. Regularly analyze server logs to identify and block unwanted bots that consume significant resources.
Bad Reputation IP
Bad Reputation IP refers to clicks originating from IP addresses with a bad reputation. Such clicks may come from browsers (which is usually considered safe) or servers (which often indicates fraud). In the latter case, data may be collected through scraping and used for automatic ad clicks.
Combat Recommendations:
1. IP Blacklists. Use up-to-date blacklists of IP addresses with bad reputations and regularly update them to block suspicious requests.
2. IP Geolocation. Filter traffic based on the geographic location of IP addresses, especially if certain regions are frequently used for fraud.
3. Network Request Analysis. Implement network traffic analysis systems to detect anomalies associated with suspicious IP addresses.
Incorrect Requests
Incorrect Requests are a type of fraud not always associated with bots but posing a serious threat. An example could be the use of invisible iframes placed under ad banners. Clicks on such ads may seem legitimate but are actually fraud. Scammers may also use images instead of ad banners, making it difficult to track the traffic source.
Combat Recommendations:
1. Detection and Blocking of iframes. Monitor and block invisible iframes that may be used for fraud clicks. This can be done using tools that track page source code.
2. Click-Jacking Protection. Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) and X-Frame-Options headers to prevent site embedding in iframes.
3. Image Analysis. Use image analysis technologies to detect fake ad banners and replace them with genuine ones.
General Recommendations:
Regular Audits. Conducting regular audits and security tests to identify and address new vulnerabilities.
Collaboration with Trusted Partners. Utilizing trusted advertising networks and platforms that have built-in fraud protection mechanisms.
Employee Training. Continuous training and informing employees about new fraud methods and ways to prevent them.
Implementing these measures will significantly reduce the risks associated with various types of fraud in internet traffic.
