The Danger Lurking in Search Results

Google has become a household name because they provide so many cool free things that helps with our online lives.

As a result, we have collectively grown to generally trust Google as a resource. This general trust is now being exploited by cybercriminals especially when it comes to Google's search results.

While Google is the biggest target, they aren't the only target of 'keyword poisoning' via BlackHat Search Engine Optimization tactics that allow malicious websites to make it to the first page of popular search phrases.

How and why are they doing it? What can you do to protect yourself?

Listen-in as the answers to these questions and many more will be tackled by the Data Doctors on this week's show!
