Infoblox Threat Intel<p>After three years of relentless tracking, we’ve published a [paper](<a href="https://blogs.infoblox.com/threat-intelligence/vextrios-origin-story-from-spam-to-scam-to-adtech/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">blogs.infoblox.com/threat-inte</span><span class="invisible">lligence/vextrios-origin-story-from-spam-to-scam-to-adtech/</span></a>) that, for the first time, exposes the true identities behind VexTrio. This research connects real names to the various companies that form the VexTrio ecosystem. It begins with the origin story—how a group of Italians launched a successful spam and dating business. Over time, VexTrio expanded its operations into malicious adtech and online scams. For over a decade, the group employed deceptive tactics to defraud countless innocent internet users. These illegitimate gains funded the extravagant lifestyles of VexTrio’s key figures—who, despite increasing scrutiny, have yet to be fully stopped.</p><p>We’re deeply grateful to all the contributors who helped us reach this research milestone, especially <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@rmceoin" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>rmceoin</span></a></span> and Tord from [Qurium](<a href="https://www.qurium.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">qurium.org/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>).</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/dns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dns</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/threatintel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>threatintel</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/threatintelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>threatintelligence</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cybercrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cybercrime</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cybersecurity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>infosec</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/infoblox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>infoblox</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/infobloxthreatintel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>infobloxthreatintel</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/adtech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>adtech</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/maliciousadtech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>maliciousadtech</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/advertising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>advertising</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/affiliates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>affiliates</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/scam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>scam</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/notifications" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>notifications</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/pushnotifications" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pushnotifications</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/tds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tds</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/trafficdistributionsystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trafficdistributionsystem</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/spam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>spam</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/italy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>italy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>russia</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/belarus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>belarus</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/dating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dating</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/clickallow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>clickallow</span></a></p>

Infoblox Threat Intel<p>Like CEOs at Coldplay concerts, we keep finding malicious adtech hiding behind well-known advertising brands. While these platforms may appear credible, they allow malicious actors access to their platform, and profit from their successes.<br> <br>Our posts often focus on adtech operators because they are the ones who manage the infrastructure. But they are not the only ones profiting from this business. Affiliates play a big role by driving traffic (aka visitors) to the adtech platform (TDS).<br> <br>Malicious affiliates do this by tricking visitors into clicking hidden links or manipulating pages to redirect them automatically. They are so good at it that they generate a profit just due to the sheer volume of traffic they drive into the platform.<br> <br>Legitimate affiliates do this by posting what they believe to be normal ads on their web pages, tempted by promises of big rewards. Unfortunately for them, this is rarely the reality, and there are many reports of affiliates being underpaid or not paid at all. Additionally, affiliates risk damaging their own brand image – no one wants their legitimate website redirecting to malware, right?<br> <br>As a user, regardless of how you find yourself diverted into a malicious TDS, if you happen to fit the profile then you face the risk of being sent to a malicious landing page. Scams, disinformation, malware…you name it.<br> <br>As there are many players involved in this scheme, we’ve created an infographic that highlights who they are and how they fit into the malicious adtech landscape.<br> <br>Have you come across any of these shady platforms or, worse, been lured into becoming part of the scheme?

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The Pay-or-Okay model adopted across the online news industry and platforms like Facebook and Instagram is “manipulative” and cannot be considered a free choice, a new report from the digital rights group noyb has found.</p><p>The report comes as the European Data Protection Board (EDPB), which oversees the implementation of privacy rules in the EU, is considering formal guidelines regarding the use of the model, also known as Consent-or-Pay.</p><p>Organizations like noyb, a Vienna, Austria-based non-profit, have long called on regulators to adopt a stricter approach to Pay-or-Okay, which they say violates the bloc’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).</p><p>According to the group, Pay-or-Okay does not provide users a genuine choice to refuse tracking, as required by privacy rules, because the alternative is too expensive.</p><p>“Right now, users are effectively and unlawfully nudged towards ‘consenting’ to being tracked.

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"“I’m here to tell you if you’ve ever been on a dating app that wanted your location, or if you ever granted a weather app permission to know where you are 24/7, there’s a good chance a detailed log of your precise movement patterns has been vacuumed up and saved in some data bank somewhere that tens of thousands of total strangers have access to,” writes Tau.</p><p>Unraveling the story of how these strangers—everyone from government intelligence agents and local law enforcement officers to private investigators and employees of ad tech companies—gained access to our personal information is the ambitious task Tau sets for himself, and he begins where you might expect: the immediate aftermath of 9/11.</p><p>At no other point in US history was the government’s appetite for data more voracious than in the days after the attacks, says Tau. It was a hunger that just so happened to coincide with the advent of new technologies, devices, and platforms that excelled at harvesting and serving up personal information that had zero legal privacy protections. </p><p>Over the course of 22 chapters, Tau gives readers a rare glimpse inside the shadowy industry, “built by corporate America and blessed by government lawyers,” that emerged in the years and decades following the 9/11 attacks. In the hands of a less skilled reporter, this labyrinthine world of shell companies, data vendors, and intelligence agencies could easily become overwhelming or incomprehensible. But Tau goes to great lengths to connect dots and plots, explaining how a perfect storm of business motivations, technological breakthroughs, government paranoia, and lax or nonexistent privacy laws combined to produce the “digital panopticon” we are all now living in."</p><p><a href="https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/06/23/1118401/privacy-book-reviews-surveillance-higher-education/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">technologyreview.com/2025/06/2</span><span class="invisible">3/1118401/privacy-book-reviews-surveillance-higher-education/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Surveillance</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Privacy</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DataProtection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DataProtection</span></a> SurveillanceCapitalism <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AdTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AdTech</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DataBrokers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DataBrokers</span></a></p>
