Hello,
i just got what I thought was a great domain and it is marked as DANGEROUS by chrome, maybe it has even GSC penalty, I dont know that yet. Any tips how to recover from this? Other than that this domain has great pontetial. And the reason for that was "phishing" I beleive. I want to run a legit site on this domain.

Thanks for your help

if you don't care about ranking in google just keep the domain and do with it whatever you want. It's no one's business what you do with your toys (as long as you're not doing criminal stuff, of course).

If you do want to rank in google, however.... hmm, I don't know how to lift the penalty then, sorry :(
 
Yeah, maybe the domain was used for phishing before. Add it to Google Search Console, clean it up, and request a review.
 
You can request a security review in Google search console and remove any old harmful files to clear the warning.

I have not done this in years. Is there actually any chance it would be lifted from this review?
 
Open Search Console and ask for a reconsideration. It should be all good in just a few days.

first of all i would look into the history of the domain. the past security issues associated with an expired domain might come to affect u. it must be cleaned thoroughly to enssure that there is nothing bad in it then ask for a review.

expired domain might have had some kind of history when it comes to security concerns. The first step is to look at their history, and find out what google search console has to say about them.

Initially, I will conduct research regarding the history of the website using tools like the wayback machine nd security reports. If this website has ever been identified as a phishing website, I will clean it and re-verify it via Google Search Console.
