Several Nvidia-owned web domains, including an events page, were hijacked to show explicit and AI-generated content in a spam campaign. The page was defaced and over 62,000 AI-generated articles were posted, containing incorrect or incomplete information about popular search topics. The attack also targeted NPR, Stanford, and US Government sites, including a domain belonging to the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The links in the pages directed to a 'nonsense SEO spam page' stocks.wowlazy[.]com.
