Site flagged by Google Safe Browsing as deceptive or malicious

This finding reports a Google Safe Browsing flag for a domain or URL. Confirm the exact warning, affected property and current Security Issues report. A public check result is an observation, not a complete incident diagnosis.

Why this matters

A malware or deceptive-site warning can deter visitors and indicates a security issue that needs investigation. The finding does not establish a measured traffic loss, the full scope of a compromise or a fixed recovery time.

How to fix it

Have the authorised site administrator investigate the affected URLs and delivery paths, repair the cause and verify the repair. After resolving the issue across the site, the Search Console owner can request a security review with a clear remediation summary. Monitor the actual report and warning status. Do not promise removal within 24 or 72 hours, and do not ask visitors to bypass a browser warning.
