Abstract

Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Moodle are frequently targeted by covert cyberattacks that exploit the credibility of academic domains for illicit purposes. This study uncovers an SEO-based attack method that infiltrates hidden links to gambling sites through Moodle's public directory. Digital forensic methodology was used to trace the perpetrators' footprints from server logs, HTML/JS files, and activity in Google Search Console. The results revealed a comprehensive exploit: fake admin accounts, redirect file injection, and Google indexing manipulation. This research not only highlights an under-researched threat but also offers a mitigation framework based on the ISO/IEC 27001 standard. Key contributions include identifying SEO-based attack techniques in LMSs, analyzing digital artifacts for perpetrator attribution, and strengthening cybersecurity governance in educational institutions.
