Watch Out For Malicious Swine Flu WebSites

Swine Flu is all over the news now and it’s currently the most searched phrase on the Internet…guess who’s gonna cash in….Malware Distributors.  If you’re going to do your research on swine flu then go to reputable sites like CNN or the The World Health Organization.

Malware Distributors often poison google results using black hat SEO techniques in order to get their malicious domains as close to page 1 as possible.  Google has been filtering these domains as fast as they can, however it’s still a problem.
