Drilling through to actual evidence and details, rather than descriptions which match previous behavior, we have both http://www.usenix.org/event/leet11/tech/full_papers/Zhang.pdf (a little indirect with 'example.com', etc) and http://www.payne.org/index.php/Frontier_Search_Hijacking (with actual domains) provide detail on the matter. Cheers! JoeI noticed that the payne.org link calls out the insertion of an Amazon affiliate code. Section 7 of the Amazon affiliate agreement (https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/associates/agreement) appears to explicitly prohibit payment for this type of traffic.
interesting, one wonders if maybe amazon will 'do the right thing' (much like they did with wikileaks?) and remove the account's access.
