Clicking on the link took me to the following page: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/190597
In that page, Google provides resources for hacked sites: https://developers.google.com/webmasters/hacked/
Not wanting to risk getting infected with or otherwise impacted by malware, I decided not to visit the site. I did contact someone from the company (who had reached out to me via LinkedIn), and he said he'd look into it. Fast forward a few days to today, Google no longer reports the site has being hacked, so it guess their webmaster did the necessary things to recover their site.
For less tech savvy individuals with web sites, I learned that there are companies that focus on helping others recover hacked web sites. Very unfortunate but interesting nonetheless.
