When Google displays "This site may be hacked" below your site in search results, it's often due to suspicious content rather than actual hacking. Here's how to resolve this issue:

Understanding the Warning

• Google flags suspicious content automatically
• Often triggered by normal content with external formatting
• Usually not caused by actual hackers
• Can affect sites with proper security measures

How to Remove the Warning:

1. Verify Your Site in Google Search Console

• Sign up for Google Search Console
• Follow the verification process
• Confirm site ownership

2. Check Security Issues

• Log into Google Search Console
• Navigate to Security Issues section
• Identify flagged content
• Review suspicious elements

3. Fix and Request Review

• Remove or modify flagged content
• Submit a review request through Search Console
• Wait for Google to re-evaluate your site
• Warning will be removed if issues are resolved

Prevention Tips:

• Maintain regular security scans
• Use SSL certificates
• Monitor external content formatting
• Regularly review site content
• Keep security tools updated

The warning typically resolves within a few days after Google confirms the suspicious content has been removed or modified appropriately.
