Malicious Chinese SDK in 1,200 iOS Apps with Billions of Installs

The main accusation is this:<p>&gt; Since brands pay ad networks for successful mobile app installs, the Mintegral SDK would then quickly send out a fake click and “claim credit” for the app install, Grander says.<p>Basically, they are faking clicks if users installed an app after seeing the ad but not clicking on it. Looks like a gray area and will be interesting to see what the ad networks and Apple will do about this.
