It's all going wrong for the adware guys

Barely a day goes by when adware companies aren't mentioned by security sites, but just in case you haven't seen the below rant, it's an industry insider wailing on former colleagues. It seems absolutely anyone getting involved with Adware companies feel the burn - even those supposedly making money with them! Exciting extract time:

My publication no longer will take your junk, and soon companies like MediaPost and MarketingVox will wake-up and ban your ads also. I’m pretty confident that soon we’ll hear about your companies being shut down, your assets seized and your CEO’s arrested. (If you work for these companies, note that you could be put in jail too.)

Ouch! Expect to see more pieces like this springing up over the next 12 months. I'm sure the Adware firms claiming respectibility will continue to send C&D letters to security sites, but they can't keep everyone quiet...especially the guys hitting them over the head with chairs in the Boardroom.

Full interview here.
