So how exactly will this feature work? Well if the search engine senses that a particular website has been hacked and compromised by a third party, Google will then show a simple message under the search result in question: “This site may be compromised.” And when a user will click on this linked text, they will be taken to a page in Google’s help center which will explain the situation of the website that has been compromised or hacked.
There has already been a feature around on Google for the past couple of years that informs the users when they’re about to visit a website that may have malware, however now apart from showing the above mentioned warning in the search results, Google will also try contacting the webmaster of that particular website through Webmaster Tools and of course, their valid known email addresses.
The new feature by Google would most definitely be appreciated as it will help users to not feel insecure about their privacy while visiting random websites on the internet, if all goes well, this feature by Google just might end up substantially reducing privacy related risks on the Internet.
