Security Issues Report

The Security Issues Report in Google Search Console flags detected threats such as malware, phishing, or compromised content on your site. It matters because unresolved security problems can reduce trust, trigger warnings, and hurt search visibility. Teams should treat it as an incident signal: isolate the issue, remediate vulnerable components, and verify cleanup before requesting review when needed. Practical prevention includes patch management, access controls, and integrity monitoring for plugins and templates. A common mistake is removing visible symptoms without fixing the entry point, which leads to repeated reinfection.
