A backdoor in an abandoned plugin was injecting redirect scripts that pointed to a fake pharmacy site. Google flagged the site as deceptive. Chrome users saw the red warning. Donations dropped to zero overnight, four days before a planned fundraising campaign.

Scrubbed the database of injected admin users and scheduled tasks.
Hardened authentication, locked file permissions, and replaced the plugin with a maintained equivalent.
Submitted the cleaned site to Google Search Console for review, with a written cleanup summary.
Google cleared the deceptive site warning within 36 hours of submission. The donation page was live and clean before the campaign launched. The campaign hit its target.
