"This site may be hacked" message
You'll see the message "This site may be hacked" when we believe a hacker might have changed some of the existing pages on the site or added new spam pages. If you visit the site, you could be redirected to spam or malware.
👁 ImageWe recommend that you don't visit the website until this message disappears from the search result.
The "This site may be hacked" notification won't be removed until the website owner of the site takes action.
Try these steps to fix your website:
- Register and verify your site in Google’s Search Console.
- Sign in to Search Console and check the "Security Issues" section to see details of sample URLs that might be hacked. Fix the security issue that allowed your website to be infected. Otherwise, your site is likely to be reinfected.
- Read our resources for hacked sites for detailed information on how to fix your website.
- Request a review in the Security Issues section in Search Console when your entire website is clean and secure. After we check that your site is fixed, we'll remove the "This site may be hacked" message.

Prevent & report phishing attacks
A phishing attack happens when someone tries to trick you into sharing personal information online.
How phishing works
Phishing is typically done through email, ads, or by sites that look similar to sites you already use. For example, you might get an email that looks like it’s from your bank asking you to confirm your bank account number.
Information phishing sites may ask for
- Usernames and passwords
- Social Security numbers
- Bank account numbers
- PINs (Personal Identification Numbers)
- Credit card numbers
- Your mother’s maiden name
- Your birthday
Report phishing sites
If you think you found a phishing site, reporting the phishing page.
If a phishing site showed up as a sponsored link on your search results page, report the site by contacting AdWords.
Avoid phishing attacks
Be careful anytime you receive a message from a site asking for personal information. If you get this type of message, don’t provide the information requested without confirming that the site is legitimate. If possible, open the site in another window instead of clicking the link in your email.
Google will never send unsolicited messages asking for your password or other personal information.
