Hello Google Support Team,

I am the owner and developer of the website: https://www.bawoumarket.com (and the hosting URL: [suspicious link removed]).

I recently deployed this website using Firebase Hosting. It is a legitimate e-commerce project currently under development. I added a login.html page for user authentication, and immediately after deployment, Google Chrome started flagging my site as "Dangerous / Deceptive Site Ahead".

This is a false positive. The site is clean, safe, and does not contain any phishing or malicious content. It is simply a new project with a login form.

I have verified my ownership in Google Search Console.

Please review the site and remove the red warning screen so I can continue my development.

Thank you.

Hi ​@Bawou market 

The official and most direct resource for developers on how to handle the "Dangerous / Deceptive Site Ahead" warning is the Security Issues Report documentation in Google Search Console.

Here is the key resource:

This documentation provides the formal process and steps:

  • Confirmation and Diagnosis: It advises you to expand the issue description in the report and follow the "Learn more" link for detailed information on the specific issue (e.g., malware, hacked content, or phishing).

  • Fixing the Issue: It directs you to the relevant sections of Google's hacked site guide to learn how to identify the malware type and fix it thoroughly across your entire site.

 

This page also links to other critical resources, such as the comprehensive Hacked Sites documentation for detailed cleaning and prevention steps.

  • Requesting a Review: It instructs you to select Request Review in the Security Issues report only after all listed issues are fixed on all affected pages.

  • Documentation: It specifies that a good review request must:

    • Explain the exact quality issue found on your site.

    • Describe the steps you took to fix the issue.

    • Document the outcome of your efforts (i.e., that the site is now clean).

  • Hope this helps.

I want to reiterate that bawoumarket.com is a legitimate Firebase-hosted e-commerce project under active development. The “Deceptive Site Ahead” interstitial appears to be a Safe Browsing false positive, most likely triggered by:

A newly registered domain

Recent Firebase Hosting deployment

Introduction of a login.html authentication flow without historical trust signals

There is no phishing, social engineering, obfuscated JS, or third-party malware on the site. All assets are first-party, TLS is enforced, and the project follows Firebase and Google security best practices.

1: Ownership has already been verified in Google Search Console

 2: The project is not indexed for misleading content

 3:No policy violations are present

I’m requesting a manual Safe Browsing review to reassess the classification and lift the warning so development and user testing can proceed without reputation damage.

If additional signals, headers, or mitigation steps are required on my end, I’m ready to action them imm

immediately.
