Google Tops the List for Malware Searches

In a report from Barracuda Labs, Google was named the most popular search engine used by malicious attackers. I'm sure that is a dubious honor Google would just as soon pass on. Although, Google's aware of the situation, and is catching up pretty fast, cybercriminals remain ahead of the game.




Interestingly, based on the data gathered, the most popular topic of choice for cybercriminals were spyware related searches, followed by entertainment news, with hosting sites, P2P and proxies related searches showing a significant growth.
