This has been going on for years… Of course, the problem with Paxfire is different in the fact that they also have "an optional, unadvertised, and more alarming feature that drastically expands Paxfire's window into users' traffic" whereby "instead of activating only upon error, this product redirects the customers' entire web search traffic destined for Yahoo!, Bing, and sometimes Google, to a small number of separate web traffic proxies." Either way, whether another affiliate's cookie gets overwritten in the process or not, together with the traffic affiliate commissions get hijacked as well.
