This report outlines how AdTech infrastructures (RTB bidstreams and third-party SDKs) have been weaponised for surveillance—termed ADINT—describing passive profiling, active MAID-based geolocation, and offensive ADINT where ads deliver zero-click spyware; it documents vendors and cases (e.g., Intellexa, Insanet, Candiru), traces market development since 2015–2023, and discusses operational, legal, and export-control implications.
