Microsoft's Bing invaded by pharmaceutical scammers

Rogue online pharmacies have found a way to exploit Bing’s advertising program.

According to a recently released report by KnujOn and LegitScript, 90% of the Bing sponsored pharmacy ads were rogue ones, shipping counterfeit prescription drugs, with the bogus companies participating part of larger affiliate networks like this one analyzed last year.

The report also details a brand-jacking scheme allowing bogus advertisers the option to choose their own “Display URL” and a separate “Destination URL” for displaying their ads.
