It is no secret that the Internet is not always a safe place. Cyberspace often plays host to criminals trying to steal users' personal and financial information. A new study has found that even major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing are vulnerable to such Internet scams. To demonstrate this idea, researchers tested the search engines' ability to detect false information. First, they created a Web site claiming to belong to the Credit Union of Southern California, which is a real bank. The site was programmed to appear legitimate to search engines. The phony site got a No. 2 ranking on Yahoo's search engine.
