Google chrome blocked my site this morning, saying it has detected phishing. The site works in other browsers (although safari seems to be on the fence now).
I can't see that the site has been hacked, and the best info I could get from chrome was that it said it was 'blocking ads' (I couldn't ascertain what it thought the ads were). I logged in to my webmaster console, and it says there is an issue with 'deceptive pages' and it gave me a sample url, so I deleted that from the server because it seemed to be just an old legacy file/folder.
There's nothing wrong with the site that I can see, the only thing that has changed recently is that my business partners asked that I put a load of company logos on there (with links), which I'm wondering whether chrome thought are spam.
The site itself is pretty tame, it does have a log in section, but that's just a username and password, there's no credit card, phone number, etc type of stuff, none of the information is sensitive. The frontpage is wordpress.
I'm not trying to game the system, I'm just interested to know the best way to tackle this, because google are such a behemoth that I can't see myself getting an answer out of them, and I just want to get the site up and running again as soon as possible. I might just delete all the frontpage/word-pressy stuff and throw up a bootstrap template instead.
As I understand it you can ask google to review your site again, but I want to make sure it's going to pass muster first. Does anyone have any experience of this/suggestions?
Thanks.
