What is Search Engine Poisoning?
Suchmaschinen-Poisoning ist eine Technik, die von Spammern und Hackern verwendet wird, um Suchmaschinenergebnisse zu manipulieren und vertrauliche Informationen ihrer Besucher zu stehlen.
Search engine poisoning is executed by injecting harmful code into legitimate websites or creating fake websites that mimic an original site. These fake sites are registered with domain names that can be confused with that of the original site. For example, if the actual site is IhreDomain.com, the fake one would be yourdomian.com.
These malicious sites are then promoted using black hat SEO or pay-per-click (PPC) advertisements. Visitors that click on these results are directed to the malicious web pages where their sensitive information is stolen, or malware is downloaded to their computer.
