These pages sometimes contain basic template elements from the original site, so at first glance, the pages might look like normal parts of the target site until you read the content. In this type of attack, hackers usually use cloaking techniques to hide the malicious content and make the injected page appear as part of the original site or a 404 error page. <li><a href="https://developers.google.com/webmasters/hacked/docs/fixing_the_gibberish_hack">Fixing the Gibberish Hack</a> <div class="blgimg2"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN89F5rRLUfrg3sFQ6r-j-wHs8gfx6Pdoun4HcO26PXWgdadJ36ndvXpxhHLDGJq6H_9THzCkZccpY172CEJTvpAZCrtki5b0dX3wUXorPvuGJRVD74BQOKsaPAkQ1xSuPTXAo/s1600/image1.png" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" data-original-height="513" data-original-width="1025" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN89F5rRLUfrg3sFQ6r-j-wHs8gfx6Pdoun4HcO26PXWgdadJ36ndvXpxhHLDGJq6H_9THzCkZccpY172CEJTvpAZCrtki5b0dX3wUXorPvuGJRVD74BQOKsaPAkQ1xSuPTXAo/s1600/image1.png" /></a></div> The gibberish hack automatically creates many pages with nonsensical sentences filled with keywords on the target site. Hackers do this so the hacked pages show up in Google Search. Then, when people try to visit these pages, they'll be redirected to an unrelated page, like a porn site for example. <li><a href="https://developers.google.com/webmasters/hacked/docs/fixing_the_japanese_keyword_hack">Fixing the Japanese Keywords Hack </a> <div class="blgimg3"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbPhKa423QXxP8sKp_c8eF8HWB2tH0hqYDwXFJLsZMc746qY7CyFo6IRNQiaw8-OtD4Z3pLjXpoyJZ6UvzdwyauG6-mnNl7MDz_3QnBXsoefoGYy9H9eJ7kv6Jox30tdTkyEuC/s1600/image3.png" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" data-original-height="513" data-original-width="1025" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbPhKa423QXxP8sKp_c8eF8HWB2tH0hqYDwXFJLsZMc746qY7CyFo6IRNQiaw8-OtD4Z3pLjXpoyJZ6UvzdwyauG6-mnNl7MDz_3QnBXsoefoGYy9H9eJ7kv6Jox30tdTkyEuC/s1600/image3.png" /></a></div> The Japanese keywords hack typically creates new pages with Japanese text on the target site in randomly generated directory names. These pages are monetized using affiliate links to stores selling fake brand merchandise and then shown in Google search.

These pages sometimes contain basic template elements from the original site, so at first glance, the pages might look like normal parts of the target site until you read the content. In this type of attack, hackers usually use cloaking techniques to hide the malicious content and make the injected page appear as part of the original site or a 404 error page. <li><a href="https://developers.google.com/webmasters/hacked/docs/fixing_the_gibberish_hack">Fixing the Gibberish Hack</a> <div class="blgimg2"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN89F5rRLUfrg3sFQ6r-j-wHs8gfx6Pdoun4HcO26PXWgdadJ36ndvXpxhHLDGJq6H_9THzCkZccpY172CEJTvpAZCrtki5b0dX3wUXorPvuGJRVD74BQOKsaPAkQ1xSuPTXAo/s1600/image1.png" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" data-original-height="513" data-original-width="1025" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN89F5rRLUfrg3sFQ6r-j-wHs8gfx6Pdoun4HcO26PXWgdadJ36ndvXpxhHLDGJq6H_9THzCkZccpY172CEJTvpAZCrtki5b0dX3wUXorPvuGJRVD74BQOKsaPAkQ1xSuPTXAo/s1600/image1.png" /></a></div> The gibberish hack automatically creates many pages with nonsensical sentences filled with keywords on the target site.

If you've ever stumbled upon a site offering you plugins you normally have to purchase for free, be very careful. Many hackers lure you in by copying a popular plugin and then add backdoors or malware that will allow them to access your site.

It's difficult to detect if your site has been infected by a botnet because there are often no specific changes to your site. However, your site's reputation, resources, and data are at risk if your site is in a botnet.
