Covert BT Phorm Trial Report Leaked
Found on Slashdot on Wednesday, 04 June 2008
An internal BT report on the BT secret trials of Phorm (aka 121Media) Deep Packet Inspection has been revealed on Wikileaks today. The leaked document shows that during the covert trial a possible 18 million page requests were intercepted and injected with JavaScript and about 128 thousand charity ads were substituted with the Phorm Ad Network advertisements purchased by advertisers specifically for the covert trial period.
Slamming charity ads in order to inject your own ads to make money? Now that's what I call morally dead. I hope the guys behind Phorm end up needing help from charities without getting any because some shady advertiser drains their money away.
