I know, I know. This isn't a conspiracy theory or anything relating to it. But, this is something I wanted to get out there as soon as possible. A lot of you have seen this message on the website.
This website was once monetized by Bidvertiser. These guys had provided advertisements to my website. Including banners, popups, etc. I noticed that they had linked to downloads are (usually viruses) such as a fake Adobe Flash and ILivid. I didn't even notice until one day I logged onto this website and realized Adobe Flash had just downloaded on my computer. Instantly, tons of viruses and harmful files were installed to my computer.
Point is, Bidvertiser puts the Publisher and their readers in danger by not checking which ads they display, they allow our security to be illegally accessed simply because of their carelessness. Needless to say, creating viruses is against the law in the United States and is a threat of security. Now, things like credit fraud, identity theft, etc. could happen to me and my family - simply because of their careless methods.
When I tried to bring it to their attention, they simply ignored my request. The best I could get was them stating they had received my message and forwarded it to a higher department. It's been around 3 months since I first sent that request.
Heed my warning, do not use Bidvertiser or encourage their illegal methods.
