"Reported Attack Page" on my site. I think I was hacked - where do I go from here?
My home page was blocked as a "Reported Attack Page". At the same time, we have received no clicks from our Google Adwords campaign, but continue to receive clicks from our Bing/Yahoo campaigns.
I am under the impression this may be the work of a hacker redirecting traffic in some way. At least Google doesn't seem to be billing me for clicks during this challenge.
Does anyone know where to start?
Do I search the code on my landing pages for something?
Once I figure it out, how do I remove the warning from Firefox?
Thank you to anyone who is able to help!
Happy Monday!

Hi
From what I understand, the block list that Firefox uses is a Google one. I strongly recommend you speak to them as soon as possible to understand what is causing it to trigger their Safe Browsing service to treat it as a threat.
I hope this helps, but if not please come back here and we can look into a different solution for you.
hi, firefox uses google's safebrowsing service in order to determine infected sites. probably google is taking your site out of a campaign and search results as well when it detects that there is something bad going on.
please refer to the documentation at https://www.stopbadware.org/my-site-has-badware in order to start getting your site back on track again.
Thank you both for your helpful responses. I will start out by looking into the "stopbadware.org" information and speaking to Google.
I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my question so quickly!
Have a fantastic day.
Google has a forum to assist webmasters with hacked sites. You might want to create a separate Gmail address for using the forum so it isn't linked with you permanently.
