    Hi,

    Google search for our website (www.decisionpoint.in) is displaying a message “This site may be hacked”. Our site is hosted with GoDaddy. I’ve tried to solve the problem using google webmasters and search console, but it is saying: “Currently, we haven’t detected any security issues with your site’s content”.

    I’ve tried to scan for malware or spam using Anti-Malware Security and Brute-Force Firewall, but it is not showing anything in ‘known threats’. There are some ‘potential threats’, which I am not able to analyse.

    Please help as it is very urgent to resolve the issue.

    I don’t see any hacks on your site. Google says you should Request a Review in the Security section of Webmaster Tools so I am not sure why you don’t see that.

    The only discrepancy I see here is that you referred to your site in this topic as http://www.decisionpoint.in but I see that your WordPress install and Google both say that your site is actually decisionpoint.in and this make a big difference when referring a domain’s reputation. Technically speaking, the www in front makes it a different sub-domain and that means that it is possible for it to be an entirely different site. Now, I know it’s not a different site and using the www only redirects you to the domain without the www, but I am curious as to why you choose to refer to your domain here with the www and wonder if you did the same thing in Webmaster Tools (which might be a problem for you).

    Thanks for the quick reply Eli. What I did after my post is to update the definitions of your plugin and then re-scan our website for threats. It then found some ‘known threats’ and fixed them before you replied.

    As for the ‘www’, issue, I think there was some problem in webmaster settings and I corrected it. Our site is up and running fine now. Thanks a lot for this plugin and help.

    Hi Anes,
    Those are just potential threats, they are probably fine but it’s the known threats you need to worry about. You have not even downloaded the latest definition updates, so my plugin will not find any of the current threats with the definition.
