Mashable - Google has identified a piece of malware that is redirecting unusual search traffic to its servers, prompting the company to warn affected users. "Recently, we found some unusual search traffic while performing routine maintenance on one of our data centers," security engineer Damian Menscher wrote on the company's blog. "After collaborating with security engineers at several companies that were sending this modified traffic, we determined that the computers exhibiting this behavior were infected with a particular strain of malicious software."
