Were seeing several old banner show up in our tracking analytics. For instance Total for day - 2010-08-18 2009_Jimmy_Appeal5 Support pp 1 1 45.08 45.08 45.08 2009_Notice1 Support2 cc 2 0 0 0 donate Both Jimmy Appeal and Notice1 haven't been show in months yet we have logged click paths for them. This could be hard coded fraud, old squid cache, or something else.
Added tracking to figure out whether this banner is actually being served or whether this is fraud or other illegitimate activity
Initial research shows that 2009_Notice1 is very commonly associated with fraud.
This is indeed fraud. Closing ticket as we have already taken action to fix this.
