Site Hacked
- SEO |
Yesterday I received this email:
"http://_________/: Suspected hacking
Google has detected that some of your pages may contain hidden text or cloaking, techniques that are outside our Webmaster Guidelines.
Specifically, we detected that your site may have been modified by a third party. Typically, the offending party gains access to an insecure directory that has open permissions. Many times, they will upload files or modify existing ones, which then show up as spam in our index."
However, one thing that intrigues me is that I haven't received the same message in my webmaster's tool. So is this genuine? How can I know if my site is hacked?
