Inside Google's Secret War Against Ad Fraud

"Sasha is a member of Google's secretive antifraud team. The unit,
numbering more than 100, is locked in a war against an unknown
quantity of cybercriminals who are actively siphoning billions of
dollars out of the digital advertising industry, primarily via the
creation of robotic traffic that appears human. Mysterious to many
even within Google, the group has never spoken to an outsider about
the way it hunts botnets, let alone allowed someone into its offices
to observe the process. But that silence ended the moment Sasha opened
his computer."
