Google To Flag Malware Spreading Sites For A Month

Google has introduced a new class in its Safe Browsing anti-malware system called "repeat offenders". This status is reserved for websites "that repeatedly switch between compliant and policy-violating behavior for the purpose of having a successful review and having warnings removed". Once site has been determined as a repeat offender the webmaster will be unable to request additional reviews via the Search Console for 30 days and warnings continue to show to users. According to Google the new class won't be used on hacked websites.

More information in Google's blog post.
