The first thing I’ve said this morning when Asier told me that there was a BlackHat SEO attack on Moshi Monster was “What the hell is a Moshi Monster?” Well, it seems that they have been out there for a while, the best description I’ve found is the one at Gizmodo: “a mash of Tamagotchi, Pokemon and NintenDogs”

And these are the lovely little monsters:

And this are the poisoned results you obtain while searching them on Google:

Once again, this attack is being used to distribute the rogueware known as Adware/MySecurityEngine.
