One of our website is now down and it looks like this. What is the cause of this? Please HELP.

Answer 1

I can only speculate what the cause is since you didn't provide the link, but my guess is that your site has been compromised. Look at your code and see if there is anything out of place. For example, a tag that is below your closing tag. Someone probably injected code on your site that contains data from their site. Google sees the domain that has been marked as malware and then says that your site has malware.

Can you provide a link to the code?
