New Fraud Scheme: Legitimacy Cloaking on CTV Inventory Report

DV has identified a new fraud scheme on CTV that involves legitimacy cloaking, a process where fraudsters get their apps on premium app stores to leverage a halo effect. In this report, we expose that fraud, which typically takes place in three stages:

• First, fraudsters use public domain content to create fraudulent apps.
• Next, they submit their apps to stores on premium CTV platforms and tap into the platforms’ credibility and usage.
• Finally, they take advantage of the way CTV is typically delivered to generate fake impressions and fake impression data.
