Today I checked my google search console and found few interesting 404.
All those pages never existed on my site. Funny thing is that it didn't scan for some vulnerable php files. It looked like some angry person is trying to send me a message. Those messages were in my language, so posting them wont make any sense to you. First he did some testing like:
website.com/attempt-1/ www.website.com/attempt-2/ website.com/attempt-3-some-text/

That somehow worked for him, so next step was:
website.com/some-angry-text-five-words/

and that text was with a lot of grammar mistakes, like it would be typed by angry crazy person :)

Google search console says that those 404 links were found on:

website.com/ website.com/ website.com/findings/


There's no such page as /findings/ on my site.
I double checked database just to make sure it wasn't sqlinjected with a link. But found nothing.

I use smarty on my site, maybe that's how he managed to trick google?
