To generate revenue, pirates will do anything. They distract visitors<\/strong> pirated sites via sponsored links or redirections, or add inopportune advertising<\/strong> of which they reap the rewards<\/strong>. They also sometimes add links to other infected sites in an attempt to get them listed on Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often without limits, they also go so far as to host phishing <\/strong>on your site. In other words, copies of institutional sites. This enables them to refer victims to whom they have previously sent fake e-mails pointing to these links, and thus to retrieve their personal login details for these real accounts. In some cases, these may be bank or health accounts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
