SEO Poisoning Attacks

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) poisoning attacks, which have become increasing common in the last couple of months, consist of threat actors creating fake websites which impersonate well-known brand’s and companies. Then, these websites lure unsuspecting users to download malicious versions of legitimate tools. What’s more concerning is how threat-actors game search results involving AI-associated keywords to boost the ranking of these fake websites. The bottom line is this: The next time you download an online tool, make sure you verify the integrity of the website.
