Google AdWords used by Hackers

Posted by Admin @ April 1st, 2007 in Search Engine Marketing

Hackers have placed malevolent sponsored links in the Google AdWords system, report both Clickz and Search Engine Journal. The user that clicks on one of these links using Internet Explorer 7 will be passed through a hacking site that tries to collect personal information from the user. The advertisements have been removed by Google.
