DoubleVerify Uncovers Shadowbot Scheme Involving 35 Million Spoofed Mobile Devices DoubleVerify released the discovery of ShadowBot, a fraudulent bot scheme that generated over 35 million spoofed mobile devices in First Quarter 2025 and cost unprotected advertisers an estimated $2.5 million since the start of 2025. The DV Fraud Lab identified ShadowBot targeting mobile and Connected TV (CTV) environments using rudimentary automation techniques, including mobile emulators and spoofed app IDs. While the scheme was widespread, it was routed with amateur-level mistakes, making it detectable for advertisers protected by DV's advanced fraud-detection systems. DV Fraud Labs identified five key red flags that uncovered ShadowBot: Basic Automation Methods: ShadowBot used emulators that defaulted to screen resolutions (e.g., 800x600). This resolution is not typical for mobile devices. Overly Aggressive Traffic Generation: The operation produced abnormally high impression volumes that didn't align with seasonal trends. Suspicious IP Activity: Fraudsters relied on anonymizing IP proxies, provided by long tail entities. The digital footprint of these proxy providers was riddled with fake testimonials, broken URLs, and known abuse reports. Lack of Behavioral Diversity: Devices showed identical impression counts, lacking the variability expected from real users. Impro probable Engagement patterns: Devices appeared to open 10 spoofed apps in just 9 minutes - behavior impossible for actual users. Recent Insider Transactions Derivative • Jun 20

A large drop in profit margin could indicate the company does not have strong competitive advantages or it is yet to establish itself and its core business.

This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Duyuru • Feb 18

DoubleVerify Launches GenAI Protection to Safeguard Brands from Low-Quality, AI-Generated Content DoubleVerify Holdings, Inc. announced the launch of its Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) Website Avoidance & Detection solution. This innovative offering helps advertisers navigate the risks posed by low-quality, AI-generated content and protect their brand reputation online. According to DV's 2024 Global Insights Trends Report, 54% of marketers believe that generative artificial intelligence negatively impacts media quality. DV has identified numerous long-tail websites that leverage GenAI tools to churn out low-quality content, often rife with errors, editorial inconsistencies and plagiarism. With DV's GenAI solution, clients can seamlessly enable post-bid monitoring within their brand suitability profile and employ DV Authentic Brand Suitability across leading DSPs for pre-bid avoidance. DV uses a nuanced approach to classify websites within its GenAI Websites category. The company evaluates sites and subdomains predominantly exhibiting AI-generated, low-quality content with minimal human oversight. Poor quality signals include repetitive cookie-cutter formats, chatbot-generated text within articles, placeholder content, and other markers that may concern advertisers. Powered by proprietary detection technology that combines AI-driven analysis with human expertise, DV's GenAI solution ensures precision in identifying and categorizing low-quality content. Importantly, websites that use generative AI responsibly and maintain reasonable quality standards are not categorized, allowing advertisers to balance quality reach with suitability. DV's category-based implementation streamlines activation and ensures dynamic updates, eliminating the manual effort of maintaining inclusion and exclusion lists. This approach enables advertisers to stay ahead of the ever-growing landscape of low-quality, AI- generated content. In addition, aligning pre-bid controls with post-bid measurement offers advertisers a comprehensive media authentication strategy. Pre-bid protection evaluates content before impressions are transacted to support the delivery of ads to appropriate environments. Post-bid measurement analyzes content after impressions are purchased, offering advertisers insights into suitable ad delivery. This dual approach helps brands optimize future campaigns and media investment decisions. Currently, DV's GenAI classification applies to English-language content with plans to launch across other languages in the future. Recent Insider Transactions Derivative • Nov 22

DoubleVerify Launches News Accelerator, Empowering Advertisers to Tap into Engaged News Audiences While Ensuring Brand Suitability DoubleVerify (DV) announced the launch of its News Accelerator program. Over a year in the making, this initiative will further align DV's product innovation with the needs of the news industry, and encourage advertiser spending on news and journalism. Key components include the introduction of DV News Plus, a positive contextual segment for news, advanced suitability controls and enhanced analytics tools to drive more positive advertiser engagement with news. Through the program, DV will foster partnerships and feedback loops with dozens of news publishers, across the spectrum of news content - from regional and niche publications to global news leaders, and will educate the industry on how to balance brand suitability with the brand-building opportunity presented by news content. As brands increase their advertising spend, they seek greater transparency and control over ad placements to maximize performance and protect brand reputation online. However, overly broad use of media quality tools can unintentionally block valuable news content. DV data reveals that advertising on news sites generates nearly 20% more engagement than non-news content, presenting a significant opportunity for brands to connect with highly engaged and attentive audiences. By strategically investing in news, brands can enhance reach and campaign effectiveness without sacrificing brand suitability. DV News Accelerator initiatives include: News Plus: A contextual news segment that enables advertisers to reach news content while avoiding brand-unsafe or objectionable material. News Plus includes content from top trafficked websites for newspapers, radio, TV, and magazines reporting on local, national, and international events, while excluding content that is generally deemed unsafe by brands. DV is expanding News Plus with additional segments that will enable brands to further refine and customize their news media buys based on attention and other key quality and performance areas. News Plus will be available for activation across all major DSPs, where DV contextual data is currently available. Advanced Suitability Controls: DV is introducing additional suitability controls based on feedback from news media publishers and brands. These will allow advertisers to better tune their brand suitability settings, thereby opening up scale on news content where engaged audiences are congregating, and reducing the risk of overblocking. DV will continue to build on these enhancements to adapt to the changing landscape of news media and meet the demands of global brands. Enhanced Analytics: To help clients better optimize their brand suitability settings, DV will proactively monitor advertiser profiles for higher-than-average avoidance rates and consult on recommended adjustments. These recommendations may include removing overly restrictive keywords, expanding inclusion and exception lists, and fine-tuning other brand suitability settings. DV's Page Exceptions feature, launched in 2019, allows advertisers to support news publishers by enabling specific sites and pages to bypass all brand safety avoidance settings. New Research on the Value of News: In the coming months, DV will release additional data showcasing the value of advertising alongside news content. This research will highlight the positive impact of news on brand perception and campaign performance, providing advertisers with key insights to help them maximize their investment in news media while maintaining brand suitability. October 15, 2024, DV will host the News Accelerator Summit where over a dozen news publishers will join a roundtable discussion to address brand safety and suitability challenges, and explore how DV can collaborate with the news industry to support journalism. DV will also discuss areas of investment, including increased technical support and resources, to ensure continued success for news publishers at the global, national and local levels.
