I googled Pendraken site this morning and saw the Google warning posted above.

No warning coming up, here .  :-\
Very odd.
I'm sure Leon will do some checking asap.

I have just done a check and again no warning on Google results for me under 'Pendraken'.

I also carried out a search on the following:

"pendraken"+"this site may be hacked"

This produced a handful of listings but none actually saying that 'Pendraken' itself might have been hacked.

I see it  - in Chrome on Win7 if that helps.

Open a new tab, go to Google home page/search page > enter pendraken as your search term > first result is Pendraken website, with "This site may be hacked" under the header. Nothing if you go straight to the website :)

See attached piccy.

Just had another look.

It IS there in tiny blue text.

I've left a message on Leon's phone.....He may already be dealing with it.

I've seen it and I use Opera, only on a Google page though, not on speed dial.

I now see the message as well.  (I have telphoned Pendraken and left a message just in case nobody there is on site at the moment.)

Nothing to worry about folks, everything's fine! 

It was spotted over the weekend so I asked Matt to look at it for us.  The Pendraken site is currently hosted on a shared server, and from what he can tell, one of the other websites on that server has possibly been hacked.  This means that Google have flagged their site, and any associated IP addresses, as a risk.  Unfortunately, as we're on the same server and share IP addresses, Google has marked us down as well.   :(

We've contacted the server company to make sure they're aware of the problem, and Matt's also contacted Google to get the 'This site may be hacked' note taken off our search results.  Hopefully that will get done soon and we'll be back to normal.

Thanks for the posts and the phone calls as well, good to know everyone's keeping an eye out for us!

Well it may not be hacked, but on my machine the quote icon has been replaced by a  Lt Colonel's insignia!

Good to see it sorted. Nothing puts e-customers off like a hacked website.  A flash note on the site itself might help reassure those who enter via Google.
