A significant search engine optimization (SEO) campaign hacked over 15,000 websites.
The threat actors set up the attack to divert website visitors to phoney Q&A discussion boards.
The attacks were mostly discovered by Sucuri, and according to analysis, each compromised site that is utilized as a part of the plan comprises about 20,000 files used in the campaign to spam search engines, with WordPress making up the majority of the sites.
The threat actors probably tried to conduct ad fraud.
