I just discovered that hackers were using Google Maps to hide download links !!!
This is not a joke.
TorrentFreak found that several thousand hacker links appeared on the Google Maps platform.
The presence of these links is based on the My Maps feature, which allows users to create custom maps and share them.
A query with the Google search engine targeted at google.com/mymaps and with for example the keyword MP3 (site: google.com/mymaps mp3) returns tens of thousands of results.
Caution : Obviously, I do not advise you to trust these links because of Malwares & Viruses and of course for Illegal Contents.

Yes, I knew this abuse. They take advantage of high indexability of My Maps entries to hide these links.
