In Google Search Console, I get a warning for my site built with bricks. I don’t think I have anything unusual in there.
The site is: xyzengineering.ie
The security alert is:
1 issue detected

Is this anything in Bricks?
This seems less of a bricks issue and something you should take to your host. It could be a malware or virus attack, which is common with Wordpress
Thanks for the suggestion Dean. The site is only online about 4 weeks old. It seems odd to me that this would be malware/virus attack. Looking at Google’s further detail on ‘Deceptive pages’, I don’t know why any of the pages on my site would classify as this. The only information I attempt to collect is a newsletter signup and data in the ‘contact us’ page. I also note the sample URL has an N/A. You still think it’s something with the hosting?
Yep I do. I’d still reach out to your host about this. New sites can still be hacked/contain malware that triggers this.
Ok, thanks Dean. I’ve posted to Google Search community. Someone there has pointed to the fact that I don’t have https. Could be that.
