What is the error message?

This website has been reported for potential phishing.

What is the issue you’re encountering

My website has been maliciously reported for “potential phishing” by a troll (I believe.) I didn’t receive an email about it or anything, I only discovered it after someone reported it to me a few hours after it happened. My dashboard says it was marked on January 27. Note that the portion of my website (in this case, the homepage) marked as “phishing” literally does not have a login page or any way to enter information in it. Cloudflare is the only source that marks my website as “malicious” - no other antivirus, firewall, or anything marks it as phishing. The site has been in operation for 10 years.

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

Requested a review through the dashboard on January 27th, nothing. Contacted Technical Support who claimed to have escalated it to Trust & Safety. No response yet. Made absolute sure there were no viruses or any “malicious” pages on our website, nothing to be found.

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

Go to https://computernewb.com

When you contact Trust & Safety, you will receive a confirmation email with a confirmation code in the Subject. While the Trust and Safety team reviewed the details of your report, that may be the only reply you receive. The Community nor Support can assist as we do not have visibility into the T&S systems.
