Our website is being attacked in a curious way: on the Search Results Page, Google is showing links that look as if they were to pages on our site but they direct to some shady viagra-selling sites.

I've done some research and found no trace of those pages on our website (Nginx + Wordpress).

I tried to curl some of those links curl -X HEADER -i oursite.com/pilule-de-viagra/and got those results :

What kind of attacks is this, i.e. is this some malicious code injected in our server or is it some black-hat SEO hack that operates without having access our servers?

And most importantly, how to deal with this stuff?
