How to Deal with Bold Red 'Deceptive Site Ahead' Warning on Chrome?

133 Views Asked by At

I have dev.randomlog.org which serves as a repository for many of my tests as a developer. It's up for over a decade (nearly two I think), but...

3 days ago, the notorious big red warning covers everything inside. Search console shows N/A in the sample URL, and http://dev.randomlog[.]org/ in "related messages"

This is quite frustrating since I had shared a few links from that domain with a prospective client.

I'm pretty certain there's no 'hack' going on as suggested by some links in the big red page. I am more inclined to believe that Google think I'm a phisher because there are forms on that domain that are now being used on other websites.

I Googled but have not yet found any solid information on how to resolve this issue.

I post here in hoping:

  1. Someone can provide another insight.

  2. If my guess about phishing 'accusation' is correct, what should I do next? Putting ethics aside, is it dangerous (as we can be accused of phishing by THE GOOGLE) to leave some forms that are identical with other site's form in our site?

Bonus problem: I tried posting the exact same text above in Google Search Console Community forum but it said: Failed to post. Content violates Community Policy.

Check your website for malware and unwanted software (it is probably just a false positive but it's good to check your website hasn't been tampered with by someone that isn't you), removing any malicious code or files (If you find any), and requesting a review from Google (you can do that here https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/35843?hl=en). If your website doesn't have the warning anymore then you don't have to take any action.

I hope this helps!
