    I had this same issue. I made sure to report an incorrect phishing warning. Hopefully it will be sorted soon! Caught me off guard being hit with a bright red screen instead of bright green! Hahaha

    I had to switch browsers. The only ones that seem to be working okay are microsoft edge and internet explorer. But even microsoft edge has the quote thing.

    It's happening to all desktop users that use chrome.

    The person who updates the SSL certificates is probably on vacation and they didn't have a backup in place. It happens...

    How do we report this site is safe to Google?

    I had to click to say that I will risk it to enter the sims forums site as its dangerous ?????
    Anyone else have this, I ran my antivirus and its all clean, so this is a bit weird.

    Others have been receiving this notification as well... I think it's just an error. Someone suggested the site's certificates could be expired and whoever's in charge of renewing them haven't been able to do so yet, so that could be a possibility.

    I would just ignore it, honestly. It scared me at first when I saw it, though! lol

    Thanks for the reply, scared the beejeepers out of me too. I thought perhaps they got hacked or something. I just won't click on any links until its sorted. Better safe than sorry ;)

    The site won’t load properly for me on computer, it looks like a broken link like version 😟

    Got the same message too, but on the mobile everything is fine.

    Just had the same thing happen. Hopefully it's just an expired certificate, as suggested.

    Woah. I just got the same message that this was an unsafe site. I'm on Google Chrome. Apparently the browser "detected phishing"? Whatever that means.
    Let there be Fairies! o:)

    Same with phishing alert.
    Also, has the forum engine been updated?
    The images in posts are resized differently in addition to that weird scrolling in posts.

    Also I'd rather see staff make sure and confirm the site is safe before I report it's safe to Google.
    Because phishing is bad and our forum accounts are our EA accounts = Origin access, billing access etc.
    I'm paranoid about such stuff.

    Same thing for me last night. Phone works this morning, keeping fingers crossed for the computer.
