Their account was suspended by their hosting provider. I could be for a variety of reasons, including (but not limited to) failure to pay their bill, reaching their space or bandwidth limit, abusing server resources, or hosting illegal or copyrighted content.
Was there a red-background warning posted by Google?
Google puts this warning flag in its search results for pages where its automated web crawler was attacked by viruses or spyware when it visited the page. The warning is to help protect web surfers who are using Google search results, by steering them away from malicious pages. Yahoo also provides similar warnings on its
result pages.
While most people do not deliberately create malicious pages intentionally, the fact is that Google’s bots found either malicious code (ie. iframe injections) or links to sites that are known to spread malware. Conclusion: if you see the red Google warning “This site may harm your computer” when accessing a site, that site has been hacked.
Older versions of WordPress were Open Season for hackers using simple log-in pages, weak page permissions, or wide-open FTP policies to allow anyone to upload or write to a file. To make certain this does not happen to your WordPress site, follow these tips:
1. Keep your WordPress version current;
2. Limit access to your site with an .htaccess file to restrict IP’s other than your own.
3. On forms and login pages, be sure to use a challenge of some sort like Captcha to thwart uninvited hackers.
4. Don’t upload ANYTHING to your WordPress site that has not been scanned by a solid anti-malware tool like MalwareBytes.
And if your site has the unfortunate luck of receiving the Google warning, go to the Google Web Tools page to learn how to have your site reconsidered once you have scanned every page for injected malware or links and made the suggested changes.
Cool thank you for the helpful info….
BTW, the page was not red.
I did some research and found other sources and origin of the useful SEO info provider.
Turns out that this is a Pakistani Scholastic site of Karachi University.
Thanks again.
