Spam on a university domain: when malicious SEO slips into the AI news feed

By Tema EN · sex and relationships · October 15, 2026.

The material received contains no news. The title is a string of keywords promoting an AI erotic content generator and a role-play chatbot. The description provides no information: no figures, no identifiable company, no verifiable product.

The URL points to a Universidad de Córdoba page (uco.es), but it carries unusual parameters, including a base64-encoded string. This is typical of links that abuse a reputable domain to slip in advertising or redirects. We have not opened the link or decoded the parameter, so we cannot say what it contains. Nor is there any indication that the university promoted this content: the reasonable assumption is that its domain has been exploited by third parties.

Our take: this case illustrates a short-term problem. As AI makes content generation cheaper, malicious SEO is becoming industrialized and hiding behind respectable domains, and aggregator and search engine filters must get ever better at telling a real source from bait. Anyone curating information, human or machine, needs to verify the source before accepting a «news story» as genuine.

In the interest of editorial honesty, we will go no further. A short, truthful piece is worth more than filler about a link that contains no facts.
