Google displays "The site may have been hacked" when it detects suspicious content on your website. This warning often appears below your site's title and URL in search results.

Common Causes:

• Unusual content formatting
• Suspicious text patterns
• Normal content that appears suspicious to Google's algorithms

The warning usually stems from your own content rather than actual hacking. Your site's SSL certificate and security measures remain intact.

How to Remove the Warning:

1. Validate Your Site

• Sign up for Google Search Console
• Complete the site verification process

2. Identify Security Issues

• Log into Google Search Console
• Navigate to the "Security Issues" section
• Review flagged content

3. Fix and Request Review

• Remove or modify the flagged content
• Submit a review request to Google
• Wait for Google to verify and remove the warning

Google will remove the message once they confirm the suspicious content has been addressed. Regular security monitoring and proper content formatting can help prevent future warnings.

Tip: Keep your site's security features enabled and regularly review content for anything that might trigger Google's security alerts.
