Using blackhat search engine optimization (SEO) to get unsuspecting web surfers to go to malicious websites isn’t exactly new and it’s a problem that the major search engines are very aware of. According to new data from online security firm Sophos, however, Bing is apparently not doing a great job here, as the majority of SEO poisoned malware redirects currently affect Bing users.
According to Sophos. Microsoft’s search engine is responsible for about 60% of the redirects to malicious sites Sophos currently sees on its network. Even though Google has far more users than Bing, it is “only” responsible for 30%.
