was it a file, a hole or an XSS attack? I like to keep notes on these things in case they happen to me.
Frankly, I have no idea.
We just tightened security on the server and I reported to google daily, giving all the site locations I could find. After a week or so google started cleaning the stuff up as soon as it appeared and after some 4 weeks or so it stopped.
It was a massive attack, but it had absolutely no affect on G&C.
They also inflated my number of backlinks incredibly, to hundreds of thousands. That got cleaned up too, but it still to this day shows way more backlinks than are actually there.
While google never answered me, I could always follow the results of my complaints. I have to say they did a decent job and were responsive in their way.
I guess they don’t like googlebowling either
