Google Web Risk detected a threat
Google’s current threat lists associate the submitted URL with malware, social engineering or unwanted software.
What is Google Web Risk?
Google Web Risk checks a URL against Google’s continuously updated lists of sites associated with malware, social engineering and unwanted software. It is a reputation signal rather than a scan of the site’s code.
What to do next
- Confirm the result in Google Search Console and review recent security alerts.
- Inspect the site, deployment history and administrator accounts for compromise.
- Clean the site, close the entry point and request a review from Google when appropriate.
