Feds Bust Cookie-Stuffing Code Seller

Federal authorities are charging a Las Vegas man with marketing a so-called “cookie-stuffing” operation, enriching himself and others while defrauding eBay along the way. The felony conspiracy to commit wire fraud charge levied Tuesday against Christopher Kennedy, who faces a maximum 5-year prison term, centers around his website called saucekit. The now defunct site lets nefarious website owners purchase his cookie-stuffing code to unwittingly dupe eBay to pay those site owners thousands of dollars in advertising referral fees.
