In terms of blackhat, i think this is up there. Although this doesnt really hurt people, it does in the white knight kumbaya kinda way.



tldr: 1x1 pixel that plays video ads.

wow that is some crazy sh#@

You're saying that these advertising networks let the invisible 1x1 iframe video run up to $10 million without even manually checking their websites even once? lol... That's pretty much the advertising network faults as they could have prevented it from happening... and even checked the websites for validation before paying out the money.
