Google Alerts catches fake data breach notes pushing malware

Fraudsters have started to push fake data breach notifications for big company names to distribute malware and scams. They’re mixing black SEO, Google Sites, and spam pages to direct users to dangerous locations. BleepingComputer found on a hacked website a directory (penartdesigner[.]com/ifcemva/) with about 2,000 text files like the one above with specific keywords to promote a topic in search results. The information in the blobs of text was copied from public sources and covers a wide variety of subjects.
