Among the reasons why ad traffic may be deemed invalid is it is a result of non-human traffic (spiders, bots, etc.), or activity designed to produce fraudulent traffic.” Where the traffic characteristics are suggestive of deliberate intent to mislead, such IVT is often referred to as “ad fraud.” Also per the MRC, “'Fraud' is not intended to represent fraud as defined in various laws, statutes and ordinances or as conventionally used in U.S. Court or other legal proceedings, but rather a custom definition strictly for advertising measurement purposes.”* ### Search Blog Search ### Follow Pixalate [**](https://www.pixalate.com/hubfs/Pixalate%20Wechat.png?utm_campaign=Company%20News&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_ZtCSHiG6VOXsk-H9wZxOKVhNZxU_38xbLSOf7jCI9cht_GS6NejKw3dZ_BY3kYiwF7Hc9ZWlilTmIVK5YSB9-baUW2w&_hsmi=336270631&utm_content=336270631&utm_source=hs_email) ### Subscribe to our blog *By entering your email address and clicking Subscribe, you are agreeing to our [Terms of Use ](https://www.pixalate.com/terms)and [Privacy Policy.](https://www.pixalate.com/privacypolicy) Previous Story [← Pixalate Releases March 2026 Most Common Programmatic Ad Fraud Types in Connected TV (CTV) Apps: ‘Proxy’ Most Common on Roku, Samsung Smart TV, LG Smart TV](https://www.pixalate.com/blog/pixalates-march-2026-most-common-programmatic-ad-fraud-types-in-ctv-apps) [** ](https://www.pixalate.com/blog) Next Story [Pixalate’s Q1 2026 Delisted Mobile Apps Running Ads Reports: ‘Cleaner’ tops Google Play Store & ‘Musi - Simple Music Streaming’ tops Apple App Store →](https://www.pixalate.com/blog/pixalates-q1-2026-delisted-mobile-apps-running-ads-reports) ## You May Also Like These Stories on Mobile Apps [![](https://www.pixalate.com/hubfs/Abandoned%20Mobile%20Apps%20Report%20-%20blog%20cover.png) ](https://www.pixalate.com/blog/pixalate-releases-may-2026-global-abandoned-mobile-apps-report) [Mobile Apps](https://www.pixalate.com/blog/topic/mobile-apps) ### [Pixalate Releases May 2026 Global Abandoned Mobile Apps Report: “Draw In™” at the top on Apple App Store, “GUNSHIP BATTLE: Helicopter 3D” tops Google Play Store](https://www.pixalate.com/blog/pixalate-releases-may-2026-global-abandoned-mobile-apps-report) Jun 24, 2026 9:00:02 AM | 3 min read [![](https://www.pixalate.com/hubfs/Blog%20Media/2026%20Covers%20and%20Images/MONTHLY%20MOST%20COMMON%20MOBILE%20AD%20FRAUD%20TYPES%20GOOGLE%20-%20APPLE%20BLOG%20COVER.png) ](https://www.pixalate.com/blog/pixalates-may-2026-most-common-mobile-app-ad-fraud-types) [Ad Fraud](https://www.pixalate.com/blog/topic/ad-fraud) ### [Pixalate Releases May 2026 Most Common Mobile App Ad Fraud Types: ‘High Risk Device ID’ Most Common Type Across Google Play Store (32%);
