Yale, MIT, and some other EDU’s get hacked

So I was searching one of my client’s backlinks, and I noticed that they had some ‘text’ on Yale’s website.

I was surprised to find this because it’s a florida mortgage website which has nothing to do with Yale.

I clicked on the link, and it redirected me to another page.

I realized that someone had to hack into Yale’s website, and upload some pages to do this.

I googled the title of the listing, and saw that many edu’s have been hacked by the same website(s).

“Refinance Mortgage Open Chapter 13 site:yale.edu” (put that in the google search)

With MIT just search Refinance Mortgage Open Chapter 13 site:mit.edu

If you click on these pages they will take you to

easy-loan-calc.com or e-loan-expert.com

According to Compete.com the e-loan-calc website is getting 44,959 U.S. visitors per month, and e-loan-expert is getting 42,647 U.S. visitors per month!!!!

Gee I wonder how much money this guy is making?

I’m not stranger to a site being hacked. I had one of my Mortgage WordPress blogs hacked, and over 5000 pages of viagra were uploaded.

Still waiting on Matt Cutts to give me back my rankings…. Checkout the rest of my SEO blog
