"Information week is reporting that a Russian site (IframeDollars) is paying web developers 6 cents for each machine they infect with spyware or adware. One security expert estimates that iframeDollars could collect as much as $75,000 annually from the adware it placed on the infected machines during the third week of May, which cost approximately $12,000 in payments to place"

IframeDollars isn't alone in taking this model and running with it, says Dan Hubbard, head of security at Websense Inc., a Web security and filtering vendor. Other sites, since shut down, have tried a similar approach. "I'm surprised that [iframeDollars] hasn't been shut down, too," Hubbard says.
