Spider.io, a London-based company that specializes in identifying and blocking online-traffic fraud. It’s the latest sign that the “anti-bot” industry is good business. Spider was at the center of a swirling crisis in the online ad world when it identified and called out the infamous Chameleon bot, which Spider claimed had infected thousands of computers and generated nine million bogus ad impressions a month across more than 200 websites. According to Spider, online-traffic vendors employ “bots,” or programs that infect computers and mimic human traffic, creating artificial ad impressions that can be sold to advertisers across exchanges and networks.
