A few minutes ago the mods removed a post very likely because of a url drop. I had a look at the website before the post was removed. It concerned what was called an "Adsense Hack".
Anyone care to explain how these hacks operate and are they any danger to the program?

(Mods, if this discussion is not allowed, don't hesitate to remove my post.)

I believe it was Turkish. At the bottom of that site it said something about Turkiye? I believe that was the spelling.

It was kind of scary actually. It had some partial English on it and it was a form made to look like Google and it requested you put your publishers id number in it.

I could not close that website fast enough.

I just don't understand what these crooks are up to. Perhaps there is nothing new and they are just some sort of revenue share program (that will get you banned for sure!). But the word "hack" suggests this is some kind of criminal activity and it appears they do not care about making such a fishy impression. Just wonder how they operate, is it something new, and is it something to worry about?

Probably it was one of the account stealing websites. Like... there's a form with enter publisher id, username and password, and "it'll hack google making you money". The real hack is they'll get into your account and steal your money
