"Deceptive Site Ahead"

[PrincessLillie]

So, I was casually browsing GBAtemp, and suddenly this pops up:

What We Know
This error only appears on the normal desktop version of Chrome.
This happens on Windows, Linux, and Mac
All of FileTrip is blocked because of "phishing"
FileTrip results are omitted from Google search, but not other search engines
GBAtemp.net only gets this warning on specific posts, such as the "Starfox 2 already dumped, and it sucks" thread.

Funny, that's the exact page I went to. It was titled something along the lines of "Star Fox 2 has been dumped, and it sucks"
I have to disagree with the OP of that thread though

The sad thing is that you will not be able to disagree now.

I mean it WAS down for "maintenance" a few nights ago

tbh, it was going down for maintenance like since beginning of last month. [25.09?]

I'm not getting the dangerous site warning on any browser, however it would seem that all site:filetrip.net Google results have been pulled. Yahoo, Bing, and DuckDuckGo still list it.

Yep, the same page I went to. I am like an overprotective parent with my computer so whenever I see an alert like that I always leave the page. I sadly could not see the post. RIP

You can disagree, you just have to click the tiny link that says something like continue to deceptive site

Google doesn't like FileTrip aparently

Yeah, just did that. Still weird.

Uh-oh. Dangerous now, apparently. Google pls.

I found the page that triggers the "Deceptive Site Ahead" screen.

It seems that FileTrip has been flagged by Google Safebrowsing. It is likely a false positive; which has happened before.
GBAtemp.net itself is not affected by this, but you will get the same warning if there are images hosted on FileTrip on the page.
You can bypass the screen by clicking DETAILS and then "visit the unsafe site".

We'll investigate why we got blacklisted.

Thank you for reassuring us, tj.

Our hero. Hopefully you will find out since Google support is kinda eh

No warnings on chrome on Android. I'll check later on my laptop and see if I can get anything. Also why is there two threads for this?

 

[Termer]

My thread has been closed, and I don't know why. Does anyone have an idea why? Has an admin closed it, or what?

Probably because there was no need for two threads. They could've merged the two threads, but you already posted it here so if people want to go look at your post they can. Plus the reason to why this is happening has been explained by @tj_cool .

It's probably because this thread already existed. Better to keep the discussion in a single thread.

Nothing for me.

As far as we know, it only happens on the desktop versions of Chrome.

@sks316 can you add the What We Know Section of my thread to yours?

It doesn't happen in Chromium and Chrome Canary. Just tested that.
