Even better, hack the Ad network so that requests are redirected to dodgy sites, not only obscuring any actual criminal activity, but also landing lots of people on a watchlist.

The poor state of security on an ad network you have never heard of could flag you as a person of interest subject to much closer surveillance, without you ever knowing about it (at least not until the Police come knocking at 6am for your computers).
