Cyber-Criminals Create Specialized Search Engines to Lead Users to … - PR Newswire (press release)

Now, they are beginning to use their own search engines which lead users directly to pages designed to infect or defraud them. Clicking on any of these results will redirect the user to a Web page created specifically to distribute malware. The pages may include content such as pornographic videos, which ask users to download the latest version of “Web media player” in order to watch the clip. To avoid falling victim to these attacks, PandaLabs advises users only to use trusted search engines, and to be wary of Web sites offering sensational videos or unusual stories. To do so, PandaLabs has an innovative automated system that analyzes and classifies thousands of new samples a day and returns automatic verdicts (malware or goodware). This is complemented through the work of several teams, each specialized in a specific type of malware (viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, phishing, spam, etc), working 24/7 to provide global coverage.
