    Looks like incoming traffic to thousands of wordpress sites are being hacked to redirect to anyresults.net or your-needs.info

    WordPress › Support » Wordpress Hacked and Redirected ... Again
    wp google redirect hack is back - AskDamageX
    WORDPRESS HACK - hacker redirect SE traffic to his site
    WordPress › Support » I was hacked

    If you have a wordpress site, it may be worth checking to make sure you are not losing traffic. This redirect only seems to happen when clicked though from your google results.

    Theres an interesting post on ShoeMoneys blogs about this:

    Wordpress Redirect h4x’s - ShoeMoney®

    Shows the code thats added to the site to get the redirect to work.

    Apparently, it only redirects users if they come from a search engine, and haven't been to the site before (checked by using a cookie).

    Clever, as site owners who try it out from the search engine link aren't going to get redirected so think their site is ok. Well more fiendish than clever :-)

    It's amazing what criminal things people will do to get traffic

    It is these people that give our business a bad name

    There must be something that the search engines can do about this
