Google Purges Thousands of Malware Sites 133
Stony Stevenson sends in word on the most massive "SEO poisoning" seen to date. The attack was directed at Google in particular and resulted in tens of thousands of Web pages hosting exploits showing up on the first page of Google searches for thousands of common terms (PDF). Sunbelt Software blogged about the attack on Monday after investigating it for months. By Wednesday Google had removed tens of thousands of malware-hosting pages from its index.

Personally, I'm comfortable with the fact that I'm only the second-best me [google.com] out there. Let that other fella have his glory, because I'm never going back to the Rob Vincent Academy. I'm not going into it here, but those bastards Rob, Rob, and Rob know why.

And you won't tolerate them. You deny them their civil rights. You deny them their FREEDOM OF SPEECH!
This is outright Stalinism. It's not their fault fat, stupid, bored, lonely Americans will buy products geared toward the intelligence of a labrador. They're just trying to feed their families... to be part of the AMERICAN DREAM.
You Stalinists and your purges, your nights of the long knives, you're endangering the freedom of all of us. If you purge spammers from Google, the terrorists win.
