Clever SEO Spam Injection
It’s very common for us here at Sucuri to face SEO injections on almost any type of CMS-based site. Today, I’ll be presenting how one particularly ingenious malware manages to hide so well inside a WordPress website.

- Injecting fake spam posts in the WordPress database
Both approaches are readily found during Sucuri’s routine remediation process.
