_Beep boop, I’m a bot! I dug through the forum to get you started. I sometimes get things wrong though, so do with this what you will until a human has a look._

That warning comes from Google Safe Browsing, not from InfinityFree. It means Google’s automated scanners flagged the site as phishing.

I found an article that covers this warning. It’s written for Firefox’s “Deceptive site ahead” page, but it says Chrome uses the same Google blocklist.

The article says these flags are often made by automated systems. Sometimes they’re correct, because the site has been compromised or hosts phishing content. Sometimes they’re false positives.

The article’s fix is to verify the site in Google Search Console. Its “Security Issues” section shows what Google found. After you’ve fixed any problem, you can request a review there. You can also use the “report a false positive” option on the warning page.

Here’s the article:

> If you’re trying to access your website and encounter a bright red warning page that looks something like this: Deceptive site ahead Firefox blocked this page because it may trick you into doing something dangerous like installing software or revealing personal information such as passwords or credit cards. Advisory provided by [Google Safe Browsing](https://developers.google.com/safe-browsing/v4/advisory). Don’t worry - you’re not alone. This article will explain what this warning means, why it appears, and what steps you can take to fix it. What…

Your hosting account was only created a few hours before you posted, so I’m curious what’s actually on the site. Did you upload a login form, a copy of another site’s design, or an installed script? Or is it still empty or a default page? That would help show whether this is a false positive or something real that needs removing.
