Redirect Malware Can Be Conditional And Hard To Spot

Malicious redirects may only appear on mobile, from Google, for first-time visitors or through specific pages.

Redirect cleanup should identify whether the cause is injected JavaScript, altered files, configuration rules, plugins or third-party scripts.

  • Affected URL and device review
  • Injected script and configuration checks
