#6You'd probably lose. Not because you are incorrect but because Iovation is now so big and lawyered up to defend their business model no one will ever get to test it properly whilst they insist they only focus on fraud detection.
If they ever get caught out selling data for advertising or releasing browsing histories or other 'private' stuff, even to law enforcement, then they might find powerful enough forces interested in testing them..Comment -

#9Thank you for this Hareeba!
I had quite a bit on my machine but followed the article and got it all cleaned up. I hope SBR is not running this way or else I need to hang the forum/offshore up completely.
Since I have stopped this (for now) is there any chance of having it infect my machine again? Or do you recommend steps to keep it at bay? IOW if I login to offshore books am I at risk for this kind of spyware everytime? Again thank you very much.Last edited by Ra77er; 09-09-15, 02:25 PM.Comment -

#12There really aren't any coincidences.....it all makes sense now. Individuals are privy to this information which is the worst part. If it's what I understand correctly you just pay for the information on the person. Too easy if I lived in Costa Rica right chili?Comment -
