Hi,

I don't know if anyone else have ever encountered this but my virtual server was taken offline today by my host.
The reason was an abuse report from google:

Google detected social engineering URLs (space inserted to prevent
accidental clicking in case your email client auto-links URLs)

I haven't added anything to Opencats so i dont know if there is anyting i can do difrentlly with a new installation?

Best Regards,

so -

sounds like your installation was compromised? Did you check the URL's that google reported? Are they new?

- do you have a secure .htaccess file in your webroot?
- did you remove the phpunit directory after installation?
