Black Hat SEO Attacks and Prevention
Excerpt from article by Steve Ragan - Nov 15 2010

"... Black Hat SEO (BHSEO) attacks need a domain to work. Once the domain is captured by the criminals, then the
content generation scripts are uploaded and managed from there. Each compromised domain had some interesting shared traits;
all of them used an open source Content Management System (CMS) or website template system, they were often running
outdated software...
OS Commerce was the most popular script hijacked. Investigation showed that the compromise came from
misconfiguration or script vulnerability in the case of older installations. There are several published exploit examples that
target the shopping cart script, including SQL Injection, XSS, Remote File Inclusion, and file upload and execution. While most of
the vulnerabilities have been patched by the development team that produces OS Commerce, the updates were missing in each of the
compromised sites we observed.
After OS Commerce, Joomla installations, followed by WordPress, were the second and third most
common traits on the compromised domains. It is worth noting that many of the compromised sites were using “one-click”
installations, meaning their web host offered them a control panel with the option to install the CMS with little work on the
webmaster’s part."
