Google adds site hacking notifications in search results

Google has started notifying its search engine users of sites in their list of query results that may have been compromised by hackers.

For sites that Google believes have been hacked, search engine users will see a warning pop up, giving them the option to go back to the results page, get more information from Google, or continue on to their intended destination.

Google determines that a site may have been hacked based on certain signs that it detects automatically while it is crawling and indexing its pages for its search engine. In those cases, Google will also attempt to contact the sites’ webmasters to alert them, in case they are unaware of the potential problem.

This is really nice move of Google Co. I like it. We already have "untrusted website, do not enter" message, and this one should be perfect!
