The NYT is dead to me.
NYT is not a credible source. Sounds like fake news to reinforce their “Russia hacked the election” meme. Whatever hacking a election means.
Crap - one of those ideas of “Why didn’t I think of that!?”
Well, except for the illegal and stealing from someone. But it does seem pretty simple (to a layman like me). I didn’t read the article, but I guess set up lots of various blogs that run the ads on them. Then design software that pretends to be a person clicking on the ad. Then get the royalty or whatever they call it. Any idea how much the blogger makes each ad click? 5 cents maybe???
Just looked it up; “1000 ad impressions earn one dollar”.
I don’t see how this is stealing. It is perhaps fraud, but it is not theft.
All complete BS. Not even worth finishing reading.
Halperin: ‘Russian Troops’ Kept Hillary From Going to Wisconsin
“Russian cyberforgery ring has created more than half a million fake internet users and 250,000 fake websites to trick advertisers into collectively paying as much as $5 million a day for video ads that are never watched.”
Didn’t Facebook just adMIT to a ‘problem’ that inflated the number of viewers to the ads? Oh wait! That would be real News!

Let’s see...
Yesterday’s news was that the Russians hacked the election.
Today’s news is that the Russians are using bots.
News is from NYT. ROFL. They are to be believed? ROFL.
My comment:
Leave those poor Russians alone!
What will the Russians be blamed for tomorrow?
It’s the New York Times....how would they know? The NYT never noticed Stalin’s forced starvation of Russians, so, like how would they know?
Now we know why Podesta and Hillary are mad and Jill Stein had to raise all that money.
Hacking and identity theft have been major problems for years. If Obama really gave a damn, why didn’t he make this a huge priority eight years ago? Or seven? Or six? Or five? Or four? Or three? Or two? Or one? For that matter, why didn’t the Republicans?
Got an email from Vladimir Putin yesterday:
He asked me to open a bank account for him.
i guess we see how obama is spending the scant few days left he has in the white house.
