For the last few months we’ve been tracking a very large blackhat SEO spam campaign initiated by basicpills.com, and many other pharma-related domains (mostly located at 212.117.161.190 and 212.117.168.214).
The method used is very simple, where the attackers inject a single spam link on every post of the web site (generally WordPress). These are some of the links you will see in an infected site:
<a href="http://247pharmaceutical. com/">online prescription drugs without a prescription..
<a href="http://webemed. com/">Buy Generic Cialis Onlin.
<a href="http://getrxpills . com/buy/levi tra.html”>lev itra 10 mg..
The really annoying part is that the domain and anchor text change on every post, making it very hard to delete and detect. These are some of the domains being used:
