Hackers Use Ford Motor Video, SEO As Bait
Tech Herald
PandaLabs is reporting a black-hat SEO attack using the Ford Motor Co.'s name as bait to distribute malware on the Internet. The security firm has discovered 1.2 million results in searches related to the well-known car manufacturer that point to these malicious pages.

Yahoo lets marketers take advantage of knowledge gained about the company's audience, and then focus spending on specific age range and gender segments, according to Kennedy. The tool is available for both Sponsored Search and Content Match through the user interface and APIs. - Read the whole story...
