What the video says
Google's AI is citing drug spam from a city website. The compromised official portal belongs to Stoneville, North Carolina, where hidden spam pages manipulated search results.
While the main municipal pages looked clean, security groups and Google were alerted on September 10th. Hackers cloaked the town of Stoneville's site, serving Googlebot an 85KB peptide article while redirecting human users to WhatsApp lines.
