Short answer

SSAI spoofing is a connected TV fraud scheme in which servers fake server-side ad insertion requests to impersonate real streaming devices and viewers. Because legitimate SSAI traffic routes many ad requests through servers, fraudsters exploit this pattern to generate fabricated impressions, stealing video ad spend from advertisers and publishers.
