Last November Hackers (the internet bad guys) loaded more than 40,000 Web pages with malicious codes and thousands of common search terms. They used botnets ( the network of infected computers) to elavate their search status, this caused search results to list infected Web pages on top. These infected pages contains no useful information, however, a click on this link would launch an attack.
The attack marks a new level of sophistication, using multiple techniques to raise site visibility in search results and deliver malware to a mass audience.
