I’ve not noticed malware so much, but several legit independent programming resources (baledung, as a random example of a possible target; not sure I’ve seen their content stolen) will have their content lifted wholesale, slightly cropped to remove identifying marks, and then rehosted, stuffed to the gills with ads. These initially seem fine, and it’s only when you repeatedly search the same topic that you notice the stolen content. You can tell the legit site by having bylines, references, and fewer ads. Google seems to weight them the same, which is near malicious: it has the history to show primacy.
