Bogus URL Shorteners Redirect Thousands of Hacked Sites in AdSense Fraud Campaign

Learn how fake URL shorteners are redirecting hacked website traffic to crypto themed websites to generate fraudulent AdSense revenue.

The Fat Rat gets his Youtube channel suspended after posting a video about Youtube allowing a false copyright claim on a song he wrote and produced to have adsense funds diverted to a scammer. Youtube washes their hands of it. Video accrues 3 million views. So Google removes his video from Google search. And now they nuke his channel. Wow.
