LIMASSOL, Cyprus, Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PropellerAds, a leading global ad platform specializing in performance-driven advertising solutions, has released its Ads Safety Report 2025, summarizing moderation and security outcomes across the platform and outlining how fraud patterns evolved in 2025. The report focuses on preventive controls (campaigns declined before launch), confirmed enforcement actions, and the highest-impact fraud trends observed by PropellerAds’ Policy and Security teams.

Preventive moderation: what was declined even before campaigns went live

In 2025, PropellerAds recorded a 35% year-over-year increase in campaigns flagged and declined during moderation, which the report attributes to expanded preventive controls and enhanced moderation coverage.

The report emphasizes that the figures reflect the number of rejections or blocks (not unique rejected or blocked campaigns), meaning a single campaign may receive multiple rejections.

Top reject or block reasons in 2025 (share of rejects or blocks):

  • Adult, pornographic, sexual, or erotic content: 60% (439,927 rejects or blocks)
  • Antivirus alerts or malware detected on campaign-related domains: 26% (191,103)
  • Automatic file downloads (desktop or mobile): 3.4% (24,500)
  • Other policy violations: 3.0% (22,127)
    Additional categories included region-specific restricted content (2.1%), trademark violations (1.7%), inaccessible destination URLs during moderation (1.1%), prohibited products (1.0%), malware-related scare claims (0.7%), and deceptive financial advice promises (0.5%).

Confirmed enforcement: why advertisers‘ accounts were suspended

Account suspensions are issued for confirmed, high-risk, or repeated violations identified via automated systems and following expert review. In 2025, cloaking accounted for 78.2% of suspensions (1,311), followed by malware-related violations at 7.6% (127), and other violations at 6.0% (100). Other confirmed suspension reasons included ransomware attacks (2.9%, 49), failed KYC (“fake ID”) (2.6%, 44), scam landing pages (2.0%, 33), and confirmed fraud with multiple signals combined (0.7%, 12).

Key fraud trends observed in 2025

The report notes four major patterns: infrastructure-heavy cloaking (multi-layer routing and conditional delivery), malvertising via direct file distribution, messenger account hijacking attempts targeting Telegram and WhatsApp, and compromised infrastructure/hijacked domains (e.g., expired domains or breached servers). From a technical standpoint, approximately 80% of identified attack vectors targeted Windows and Android users.

PropellerAds also describes how internally developed systems use AI/ML as supporting tools for anomaly detection, interaction-pattern analysis, and faster prioritization of high-risk signals, while keeping infrastructure checks and expert review central to enforcement.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
