Security: First hit for "download chrome" on Bing is (sometimes) malware

Project Member Reported by celdersh@google.com, Oct 26

Issue description

Unconfirmed.

According to https://www.howtogeek.com/fyi/bing-is-pushing-malware-when-you-search-for-chrome/

"You launch Edge on your new PC, search for “download Chrome,” and click the first result headed to “google.com” on Bing. You’re now on a phishing website pushing malware, disguised to look like the Chrome download page."

Thanks for filing a bug.

I'm not sure what the Chrome team can do about this though, and safebrowsing already makes it as a malicious site. According to the article Microsoft has also already removed the result.
