Comment on New Android malware uses AI to click on hidden browser ads

They discovered that the malware can operate in a mode called ‘phantom’, which uses a hidden WebView-based embedded browser to load a target page for click-fraud and a JavaScript file. The script’s purpose is to automate actions on the ads shown on the loaded site.

Ooohh nooooo. Will no one think of the poor advertisers and their wasted ad money??

I know viruses are bad and this exploit could probably be used for more nefarious purposes, but I’m having a hard time getting upset about it.
