Google flagged my site for phishing and won't tell my why

15 pointsiambateman3 comments

I was developing a web app on a domain ("secure.example.com") and I moved over to a newly-registered domain.

Chrome flagged it as phishing. I've (1) submitted a request to Google via Search Console and (2) added a link from the main domain.

Is there anything else I can do to prove I'm not a phisherman?

'moved over to a newly-registered domain"

Was this new domain in use before ? If yes, check if the domain itself was blacklisted earlier. Sometimes, domains are used for scam/spams and then someone else registers it only to find out that google is blacklisting it.

Thx I’ll check. I just looked up Wayback Machine for it and don’t see anything but it’s a good direction to look.

Update: I requested review in search console and was approved.

The approval happened silently so I had to manually check.

All good
