Mitigation Checklist (Policy-Aligned)
- Use Search Console Security Issues as the source of truth for flagged URLs and categories.
- Remove deceptive UX patterns: fake system updates, fake login prompts, misleading download buttons, and spoofed branding.
- Audit all third-party resources, especially ads and embeds, on desktop and mobile views.
- Make third-party relationships explicit when services operate on your behalf.
- Scan for unauthorized files/routes and rotate credentials if compromise is suspected.
- After all fixes are complete site-wide, submit one review request with exact remediation details.
- Report false positives directly to Safe Browsing if no deceptive behavior remains.
Recommended evidence package: before and after screenshots, list of removed scripts, deploy commit IDs, and timeline of fixes.
