Hi Andy,
Am currently gathering data from Webmaster Tools.
No, I didn't get any manual actions message from Google.
I do have a list. Am trying to use Kerboo (LinkRisk) to manage it. However, I have little time to do this.

Hi,
I have a big problem. For the past month, my company website has been scrape by hackers.
This is how they do it:
1. Hack un-monitored and/or sites that are still using old version of wordpress or other out of the box CMS.
2. Created Spam pages with links to my pages plus plant trojan horse and script to automatically grab resources from my server. Some sites where directly uploaded with pages from my sites.
3. Pages created with title, keywords and description which consists of my company brand name.
4. Using http-referrer to redirect google search results to competitor sites.
What I have done currently:
1. Block identified site's IP in my WAF. This prevented those hacked sites to grab resources from my site via scripts.
2. Reach out to webmasters and hosting companies to remove those affected sites. Currently it's not quite effective as many of the sites has no webmaster. Only a few hosting company respond promptly. Some don't even reply after a week.
Problem now is:
When I realized about this issue, there were already hundreds if not thousands of sites which has been used by the hacker. Literally tens of thousands of sites has been crawled by google and the hacked or scripted pages with my company brand title, keywords, description has already being index by google.
Routinely everyday I am removing and disavowing. But it's just so much of them now indexed by Google.
Question:
1. What is the best way now moving forward for me to resolve this?
2. Disavow links and domain. Does disavowing a domain = all the links from the same domain are disavow?
3. Can anyone recommend me SEO company which dealt with such issue before and successfully rectified similar issues?
Note: SEAGM is company branded keyword
