Illegal gambling operators have a reputation problem. Threat actors found a workaround: borrow someone else's.

In our latest report, we examine how threat actors shadowed government and education domains, including schools and an Indian state government, and turned them into launchpads for parasitic SEO. By hiding gambling-related content under trusted institutions, they inherit the authority those domains have earned with search engines.

Borrowed reputation. Real abuse.

Google Search Central is urging site owners taking servers offline for emergency PHP patches to return a 503 status code, so already indexed URLs stay in the index instead of being dropped. Serving 200 error pages or 404s during downtime risks losing those listings, and crawl rates stay reduced until responses normalise. https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-reminds-sites-to-serve-503s-during-server-downtime/593873/ #Marketing #Strategy #SEO
