Bing most 'poisonous' search engine

[DrLeftover]

for some reason.... it just kinda figures....

If you're using Bing to search for the latest celebrity gossip or embarrassing paparazzi images, beware. According to new research from SophosLabs, Microsoft's search engine is the most poisonous. Also known as Blackhat Search Engine Optimization (SEO) in anti-virus and security circles, SEO poisoning occurs when a website is created that contains a number of popular or trending keywords with the sole purpose of redirecting visitors to another nefarious site or to a piece of malware. As the site contains a number of popular search terms, the search engine will often rank it highly enough that it's in the first page of results on a given subject. What's more, by keeping up to date with popular searches via Google Trends, poisoners can always make sure that their sites remain current.
