In addition to the newly demonetized domains, TAG also identified an additional 176 domains trafficking in stolen World Cup that had already been on TAG’s Pirate Domain Exclusion List (PDEL).
TAG compiles the list through contributions from industry partners and members of the TAG AdSec Threat Exchange, the leading forum for sharing advertising-related threat intelligence. TAG has shared the sites through its PDEL with key intermediaries across the digital advertising supply chain to prevent ad dollars from reaching those illegitimate sites.
