"Our results reveal that ad injection has entrenched itself as a cross-browser monetization platform that impacts tens of millions of users around the globe," according to a report from Google and a team of researchers that will be presented at the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy later this month. "Our client-side telemetry finds that 5.5% of unique daily IP addresses visiting Google properties have at least one ad injector installed. The most popular, superfish.com, injects ads into more than 16,000 websites and grossed over $35 million in 2013 according to financial reports."
