Webroot has detected a new technique being used by hackers to lure PC users to fake blog sites containing malware.

For the first time, hackers are capitalizing on the top news stories from Google Trends Labs, which lists the day’s most frequently searched topics, which can include news of the Wall St. bail out or the presidential campaign. These highly relevant news stories and videos are being posted to the hackers’ fake blogs to increase the site’s Google search rankings.
