Traffic Distribution System (TDS)
A malicious redirection service that routes web visitors to different destinations — exploit kits, scam pages, or malware downloads — based on their device, location, and origin. TDS platforms sit between compromised or malicious sites and final payloads, letting criminal operations filter victims and evade researchers.
