I was just trying to access one of the services I host when I'm hit with a full red error page on Brave saying:<p>> Deceptive site ahead<p>> Attackers on code.nickthesick.com may trick you into doing something dangerous like installing software or revealing your personal information (for example, passwords, phone numbers, or credit cards).<p>With a "Learn more" link which gave me a link to: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/99020?visit_id=637947814277802266-3335630021&p=cpn_safe_browsing&hl=en&rd=1 which had a section:<p>> My site or software is marked dangerous or suspicious<p>> Site owner: If you own a site marked as dangerous or deceptive: Follow the instructions [to fix the problem and request a review](https://developers.google.com/webmasters/hacked/docs/request_review).<p>Linking to: https://web.dev/request-a-review/
Which is now taking me through the process for requesting a review from Google.
So now I'm verifying myself to Google that I own the domain to even see what my domain was flagged for.
This takes adding a TXT record, so off to Cloudflare to update my DNS records.
After verifying that I own the domain, and looking for the issue, all I get is:<p>> 1 issue detected<p>> Google has detected harmful content on some of your site’s pages. We recommend that you remove it as soon as possible. Until then, browsers such as Google Chrome will display a warning when users visit or download certain files from your site.<p>and:<p>> Description: These pages attempt to trick users into doing something dangerous, such as installing unwanted software or revealing personal information. Learn more<p>> Sample URLs: N/A<p>It can't even bother to tell me which page is trying to "trick users into doing something dangerous, such as installing unwanted software or revealing personal information". What a sham, looking into the Learn More link:<p>> Most reconsideration reviews can take several days or weeks, although in some cases, such as link-related reconsideration requests, it may take longer than usual to review your request.<p>Whaaa? You are blocking my site for days to weeks without giving me any information on what the issue is or even where it is?<p>I seriously don't know what my domain could have been flagged for, the main site `nickthesick.com` is just a personal page that I wrote up on my own.
The other sub-domains host several selfhosted services that I run for personal use and would find it weird for any of them to even be indexed by Google much less flagged by it.<p>Maybe it is one of the services? But all of them are open source I think.<p>Has anyone else ran into this issue? What did you do?
I'm tempted to just ask them to review it because I don't know what could even be flagged but I'm afraid that they will give me trouble for it later if they find the same 'deception' again.
