Google search has been reporting


This site may be hacked.


from a couple of days. When I look into the Webmaster Tools > Security Issues, this is what it says:


Now, the url in the Sample Urls is actually a legitimate Url and there is no spam content being served (I tried with a couple of different user agents). This looks like a false alarm to me but is there something that I might be missing?

Any suggestions on how to go about mitigating this issue?

You need to check the server side source code of the page on the server and look for code that does not belong. Even though you tested a few different user agents, it is trivial to make a dynamic page show different content to various users based on any factor. A hacker could also make it only happen at certain times of day, etc.

Until you've checked the server side source code, it's dangerous to assume a false alarm.
