Technology to Give Publishers Lots of Scope to Experiment with Native Advertisement

Of late, online publishers have been looking for ways and means to boost their advertising revenue without upsetting their readers. A large number of publishers, including The New York Times, have been discussing a new effort, native advertising, wherein sponsors-commissioned stories are made to resemble editorial content.

There is a new technology that publishers, particularly outside the United States, are attracted to. The technology has the power to turn any visual element on a web page, which includes videos and editorial photographs, into advertisements.

The technology has been developed by Kiosked, a Finnish start-up, and works as per the wishes of publishers to earn revenue from video and photo contents on their websites. Publishers can put a snippet of Kiosked code on the web pages and whenever the page is visited by a reader, a split-second scan of the written material accompanying the photo on the page is done by Kiosked. Then, one or more relevant products or services are selected and presented to the reader to buy online, placed on top of the products on a strip featuring above the photo.

According to Kiosked, the technology, which was released last fall, is being used by some big publishers, such as The Telegraph, the British newspaper, IDG, the publisher of web sites and technology magazines, and plenty of technology, sports and fashion publications around the Europe, including T3 and Rugby Week.

Micke Paqvalen, the founder and chief executive Kiosked, stated in a telephonic interview said that the technology developed by company engages consumers in content without envisaging like intrusive, pushy advertisements.

He said, “We want to be viewed as a service, not as an advertisement. We are always looking at it from a consumer point of view, and consumers are extremely conscious. They will respond if it becomes over-commercialized.”

The main question with native advertising is sometimes readers fail to realise whether they are seeing an advertisement. However, Kiosked makes it easier for readers to identify the advertisement by letting the advertisements and editorial content emerge side by side.

Providing links to the visual content rests entirely with the publishers and they are the ones responsible to use the images compatible with the content and commerce.

Kiosked has certainly given publishers lots of things to experiment with and give native advertisements a new meaning.

Now it is not just important to keep your computer and mobile devices protected from spam, these days, hackers can use any smart devices in your home to send out thousands of spam mails. For example, even refrigerators can be used to send out spam. Proofpoint, a security firm, has discovered the first instance of a cyber attack that may have taken place on a device that is the ‘Internet of Things’.

Skilled hackers have hacked into various home appliances before like the router, multimedia centres and television, so a refrigerator won’t be much of a big deal. These appliances have reportedly sent over 750,000 malevolent emails around the world.

“Just like your PC can be compromised and controlled by a botnet, your Internet-connected appliance is also at risk of becoming a "thingbot" that operates at the behest of its bot overlord.” – Proofpoint

(Source: goo.gl/9kbRik)

This has become a matter of concern to people as their home appliances are becoming subject to hacking and used for spamming.

"Bot-nets are already a major security concern and the emergence of thingbots may make the situation much worse. Many of these devices are poorly protected at best and consumers have virtually no way to detect or fix infections when they do occur." - David Knight, General Manager of Information Security division, Proofpoint.

(Source: goo.gl/9kbRik)

Between 23 December and 6 January, Proofpoint has tracked many of these malevolent mails that have been sent out through refrigerators and household objects similar to it. These mails were tracked to have been sent around three times a day in batches of 100,000. Most of these mails were reportedly sent via traditional or conventional devices like the computer or the smartphone but about 25 percent were sent through non-traditional objects.

Businesses have been warned that since unconventional objects are also being hacked and used to send spam mail, they should take drastic measures to try and protect these objects from the hackers.

“The ‘Internet of Things’ includes devices connected to the Web, from home automation products (smart thermostats, security cameras, refrigerators, microwaves, home entertainment devices, gaming consoles) to smart retail shelves and industrial machinery.”

Therefore, in this age of technology, it has become extremely important to not only protect your mobile devices or computers from hackers but also to protect home appliances like the fridge from hackers.
