If you are a website owner using Google Ad Services Javascript code on your site, brace yourself for some drop in traffic.

Google has been displaying a Warning: Suspected phishing site!message for websites that use the Google Ad Services code on their website. This happens only when users are using the Google Chrome ^[1] browser to browse to the site.

I came across a very popular site called Venture Beat that may be affected by this problem, take a look at the screenshot below, this was taken while browsing to Venture Beat ^[2] using Google Chrome Development version.

I can confirm that this also happened on a secondary PC using Google Chrome. In addition to this Google has also been blocking it’s own website Google Ad Services, take a look at the screenshot below.

I am not sure how widespread this issue is, but this will definitely put off visitors from entering your site.
