Adsense clickfraud worm
As reported by The Register, there is a new worm that infects Yahoo Instant Messanger and causes fraudulent clicks on web sites containing adsense advertisements. The adsense ads focus on mesothelioma, a rare cancer caused by asbestos exposure that also happens to have very high cost per click values. My guess is that its unlikely the worm creators will ever get paid.
