Security vendor Bitdefender is warning that a click fraud campaign has managed to infect nearly one million computers around the world.

Cyber-criminals are moving away from malicious attachments to mobile applications and socila media platforms. A random click to an infected web site is now all you need to be compromised.

British TV network Channel 4 has uncovered a whole industry of fraudulent social media likes and clicks. Many Twitter followers and Facebook friends are low paid workers in ‘click farms’ in Bangladesh and other developing countries.

A new variant of click fraud has been identified by Microsoft, and the company has filed two lawsuits alleging fraudulent activity.
