 * Hi,
 * I’ve been searching for a while, and I think it should be more than straight-
   forward to find it quickly, a way to report a malicious plugin.
 * Anyone know how this could be done? we just got one of our sites into Google’s
   warning list (red screen) due to a plugin, and its support page shows that we’re
   not the only ones.
 * I think there should be an easy way to report this, unless I’m really missing
   the obvious link 🙂
 * Thanks!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Freporting-a-malicious-plugin%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I don’t think it’s anywhere obvious, but you should mention that in your report.
   
   Send details to [plugins@wordpress.org](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reporting-a-malicious-plugin/plugins@wordpress.org?output_format=md)
   and they will handle it.
