Hay as some of you know I haven't used Google outside of SEO purposes for years. Bing now brings better results, featured, more relevant etc...
However came across this and thought I would share.
So opinions?
However came across this and thought I would share.
For Yahoo! and Bing:The top search on April 2nd was “tri energy”. I am not sure why it became so popular, but don’t google it: more than 90% of the first 100 links are malicious! Here is what I found for this search on April 4th:
- 86 links were sending users directly to a malicious, fake antivirus page that tries to install malware. This is the same issue, with the same domain name (xorg.pl) involved in most of the redirections that I detailed in a previous post.
- 4 malicious links were down or Google displayed a warning page
- The first 5 links on the first page of results were legitimate
Zscaler Research: Google search: more links are malicious than you realizeSame search on Bing and Yahoo
For the same search, Bing did not show any malicious links. Yahoo! displayed 4 malicious links on pages 2, 6 and 7. At this point, I’m not sure if Bing and Yahoo! do a better job at cleaning up their search results, or if they are simply slower at picking up new pages.
8 hours later
I have re-scanned the Google results 8 hours later and things are a bit better. There are still only 10 legitimate links in the first 100 results, but Google displays a warning for 87 links. Only 3 malicious links redirect to a harmful site.
So opinions?
