I wonder if the intent was to actually send users to these sites, or to generate bogus clicks on ad links.
Seems like a lot of effort to go through just to drive a little extra traffic to some random porn sites.
Could also have been a test run
Maybe to see how quickly it was noticed? Yeah, possibly
A very expensive test run
Imagine the face of the state sponsored attacker that ordered to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for this supply chain attack to happen and then it's all wasted to send a few visitors to a porn site
