PIXALATE EXPANDS CTV APP DATABASE: Access Metrics for 4,600+ LG Smart TV Apps

LONDON, October 14, 2025 -- Free-form and free-flowing Bundle ID data and the absence of Bundle ID standardization across CTV platforms pose the most critical measurement blind spot - and its most lucrative fraud vector.

Malicious actors exploit free-form Bundle ID formats to fabricate app identifiers, impersonate legitimate applications, and inject fraudulent inventory into programmatic supply chains undetected.

Pixalate eliminates this vulnerability with the market's first and only Bundle ID-to-App-Store-ID mapping system. With the addition of all 4,630 LG Content Store applications to its CTV app database, Pixalate now delivers authenticated Bundle ID mappings that equip CTV buyers and inventory quality teams to verify app authenticity, measure fraud risk, and remove unauthorized LG CTV inventory on their network and campaigns.."
