"Google 'powerless' to stop AdSense theft"

It was always going to happen in the end. Hopefully with some of the brightest minds working on the problem they will have it patched up soon.

It's just another computer trojan. No surprise.

 

The big worry would not be a local machine trojan like this one but a server-hub-level switch.

 

nice idea of trojan, its very creative one. lol.
i hope adsense know, an can take quick actionto resolve this

 

It only effects people who have the trojan, at least it's not hijacking all Adsense. It probably won't effect 0.01% of people so Google shouldn't be too worried.

I doubt Google can do a think since the change is made by a client software after the html is generated.

 

It's sad to see such things exist, no doubt the innocent people will end up paying for it in the long run

 

The only people losing out are Google and possibly Adsense users if Google has to slightly increase their commission to cover the expense.

But really, as I said the percentage of people effected would be under 0.01%.
