Hey Guys,

Since saturday i see something strange on google webmaster tools, which is this:
webpagethumbnail.jpg

My Image on my website on Web master tools was my homepage, and now IS THAT IMAGE, that landing page.

Is from a website called Directile.net which is a know Hack website which steal information.
From Saturday to Sunday my ranks dropped to Not Found and some pages are being deindex by google but still alive.

When i try to open the website on my mobile, my website is redirected to that virus website which is expired.

Can someone help me please?
 
You likely have a conditional hack.

Go to web-sniffer.net. Choose "Googlebot" from the dropdown and put your URL in there. Look at the code and see if it matches the rogue site home page. If so, then you know you are hacked.

It might be 301 redirecting based on useragent too.

The tool uses user agent, but just so you know, sometimes hackers use Google IP addresses. This won't work for IPs, but 99% of the time, you can spoof useragent and identify if you have a hack.

If it's 301 hacked, check your .htaccess file.

Once your redirect has been fixed, Google might take a few days to get up to speed, but you'll get your rankings back.

I had the same happen to me, and Google was showing that my site might have malware. I dropped like crazy. After I fixed it I think it took 4 days to get back up. You might need to file a reconsideration request if it takes longer:
Code:
support . google . com/webmasters/answer/168328?hl=en

You will bounce back like the poster above said. Give it a few days for you to get a recrawl.

Nice little trick, accelerator.. I would simply use a backup, but this seems a lot easier.
