Doorways Sneak To Non-Default Ports of Hacked Servers 63

UnmaskParasites writes "To drive traffic to their online stores, software pirates hack reputable legitimate websites injecting hidden spammy links and creating doorway pages. Google's search results are seriously poisoned by such doorways. Negligence of webmasters of compromised sites makes this scheme viable — doorways remain unnoticed for years. Not so long ago, hackers began to re-configure Apache on compromised servers to make them serve doorway pages off of non-default ports, still taking advantage of using established domain names."

    Also, you'd think that timothy could lay off the huffing paint fumes and eating crayons for a moment, and maybe avoid using the word "hackers" in the pejorative sense on a site where many view themselves as hackers in the real sense. But no, he manages to embarrass himself once again.
