̽»¨ÊÓÆµ, in conjunction with its vendor partners, sponsors hundreds of events each year, ranging from webcasts and tradeshows to executive roundtables and technology forums.
VASTFLUX was a very sophisticated botnet scheme, exploiting the restricted in-app environments that run ads, particularly on iOS. At its peak, more than 1,700 apps and 120 publishers were spoofed in the course of the operation, reaching a volume of 12 billion ad requests a day and impacting nearly 11 million devices. The fraudsters behind the VASTFLUX operation have an intimate understanding of the digital advertising ecosystem as they evaded ad verification tags, making it harder for this scheme to be found.
VASTFLUX was dismantled through the private collaborative efforts of HUMAN, its customers, and members of the HUMAN Collective. HUMAN applied modern defense to orchestrate the unprecedented private takedown, disrupt the economics of cybercrime by increasing the cost to cybercriminals while simultaneously reducing the cost of collective protection.
View our interview with HUMAN's VP of Cyber Alliances, Kat Wang, and Rich Maigue, Sales Director at ̽»¨ÊÓÆµ, to get an in-depth understanding of the VASTFLUX takedown and HUMAN's fundamental role in the discovery and dismantling of this scheme.
