Soooo, I was trying to find some info on the Kalahari.com website in their help section when I came across this.

Now, I am pretty sure their payment processing and account info is separate and more secure (I hope), but none the less.

How does a company like this not have the necessary systems in place to pick up things like this. I know they have a huge catalog of goods and many external links, but surely some of the links inserted are fairly obvious to red flag... Maybe its just me.

Ouch - quite bad - running a helpdesk/FAQ via outdated Wordpress. Also click-bait links in the footer.
 
The spammers should know by now that people can find their own prons :D
 
This is a Black hat form of SEO. Since the div is hidden. The normal users never see it. However, when search engine spiders come along and index the html they get links to the site. And those sites gets a higher rank since they have big websites linking to them.

edit:
I went to the url to try and see it and i could not find it in the source. Either they fixed it or it only gets added randomly or something i dont know.
