Google Trends is being used by hackers as the vehicle to reach more victims with malware payloads. The latest assault on desktop and notebook security prompted security software provider Webroot to alert PC users to the malware, which attempts to bait users into buying destructive software. Webroot's advice? Keep your PCs and Macs secure, your anti-spyware updated and don't download videos from strangers.
Security software maker Webroot said hackers are now leveraging Google Trends to lure unsuspecting victims to fake blog Web sites riddled with malware.
Launched in May 2006, Google Trends lets searchers enter up to five topics and see how much they've been searched on Google, as well as how frequently those topics have appeared in Google News stories around the world.
