Could a hacker scim off some adsense revenue

    A friend seriously thinks that someone has hacked into his site and adsense account and is scimming of a big proportion of his revenue - is this possible? Are there any cases of this happening that you know of?

    A hacker could make it so that ads using his publisher ID appear, at least occasionally.

    If it's happening a lot, your friend should make sure the only publisher ID used by his ads is his.

    Yes this is possible I would recommend your friend take a look in his code and on his server to see if there is anything there that shouldn't be there.

    Generate fresh adsense codes and replace with existing ones.
