SEO to the top
October 2, 2009
A couple of days ago, Stephan Chenette of Websense had a nice post out on an active SEO campaign (in the following days, Websense has also released an alert to discuss how the campaign abuses the launch of Google Wave).
I am also following this campaign, which seems quite widespread, in terms of the number of web sites and search terms that are involved. Unfortunately, the campaign is also successful in pushing some of its malicious pages high up in the results returned for popular query terms by Google.
Here is a case where they even make it to the top spot:
As explained in Chenette's post, the malicious results (in red in the figure above) redirect to sites that push rogue AV software.
No doubt, the taste of that John Dory is going to be quite... sour.

Whoah! They even hijacked the launch of Google Wave from Google! Amazing what some people think of -- thanks for sharing.
