Organised Crime & Search Engines

[maverick]

So everyone on this forum knows how lucrative top 10 results on search engines can be so like any industry there must be large scale organised crime gangs trying to muscle in on the cash.

Has anyone heard of this happening and how do the search engines protect them self from this?

So you think that high leval organised crime gangs will not be trying to get access to people inside the industry? Even with BILLIONs of dollars at stake?

Haven't seen it happen yet.

organised crime is said to be pushing fishing attacks, botnets and the like, Search engines?

Not yet at least.

Forgot about that, yes, but this did not happen enough times to warrant "organized crime" more like "crackers".

The images of tattooed Yakuza entering Yahoo headquarters, swords in hand to make a deal or of Google founders appearing before a Don this is not.
