In 2011, Microsoft and Symantec were able to monitor the traffic going to one of the botnet's servers. "We got back data that showed that 3 million clicks were being hijacked by that server on a daily basis," Thakur said. Based on a conservative estimate of a payment for one-tenth of a percent of the advertising value for each click, the companies determined the fraud ring was pulling in over $1 million a year from advertising networks. "And it could have been 2 or 3 times that much," he said.
