I got it on Firefox. What's up with this. It was fine yesterday.

Also look at the drop in people logged in. only 847 right now. Usually 2000 people on. Maybe it's the Russians taking over the detailing Forum world.

Correcting the problem and submitting to Google is only part of the battle. Google will remove the flag whenever they decide.
When they submit the Report error form Google is going to request the URL(s) they have identified as a phishing URL and they are expecting to see either a clean page, a 404 not found or a 410 Gone. If they get anything else, say a 403 Forbidden, a 301/302 moved, or can not access the site you are going to have a problem getting the site cleared.

Due to the techniques involved Phishing hacks can be really tough to clear. In a typical Phishing hack the hackers will add one or more URLs (pages) to a site. The pages will be fake paypal, or bank, itunes, or maybe web-mail (Gmail) login pages. The faked pages are not linked anywhere on the site so remote scanners which crawl a site or not going to find them. In a typical Phish hack the hackers are going to leave the pages in place for 10-12 hours then remove them from the site making them even harder to pin down. If the hackers are able to maintain access to the site they will wait days/weeks then put the pages back on the site for a few hours.

I've been getting the same message pretty much all day in both Chrome and Firefox. Currently browsing the forum through the phone app.

So should we be worried about credit INFO if we made a purchase recently?
