These comments originally appeared in Mastering magic in the enchanted world of adtech by AdNews. Comments from TrafficGuard’s founder and Chief Operating officer exploring ad fraud and the world of ad tech in Australia.

In a recent forecast by Juniper Networks, ad fraud is expected to cost the industry up to US$42 million in 2019. APAC alone lost US$18 million last year.

“New fraud tactics are on the rise, and as the tricks and schemes of the past 20 years become less successful for fraudsters, we are seeing perpetrators adapt and evolve,” Taylor says.

“Additionally, as more users consume media through mobile apps and OTT channels, fraudsters are finding new vulnerabilities to exploit in emerging digital channels.”
