Just checked site again with Firefox ... warning there still.

In digging some more - it's kinda like Email blackholes ... someone could have reported site .. please follow/read ...

I’ve confirmed that my site is safe, how do I get it removed from the lists?

If you own a site that was attacked and you have since repaired it, or if you feel that your site was reported in error, you can request that it be removed from the lists. We encourage site owners to investigate any such report thoroughly, though; a site can often be turned into an attack site without any visible change.

 To request removal from the list of reported phishing sites, use this form provided by Google

Don't re-call anyone ever posting here in Moodle forums the same issue ... but then again these sorts of things weren't being used a few years ago! :|

And another comment (you are probably not going to like):

Many years ago there used to be a very small ... but significant sentence in Moodle pages ... basically it said 'Use Linux'!  Not that Linux hosted anything is that much more secure (although it is right out of the shrinkwrap) cause a lot depends upon admin of server.  To be 100% honest, wonder why one would choose to host a Windows server on Amazon! :|

Have you contacted Amazon tech support?

Please do return and share the fix ... for others who might face similar.

Best of luck!
