Phishing sites shouldn't have links on google. Users in the forum knew the site's fake so why wasn't it removed from google's listing ?
Because forum users do not control what Google lists or does not list.
This site has certainly been reported as phishing, but it always takes some time for Google to analyze it. In addition to being difficult to evaluate this type of website, for people outside this market.Maybe it's just my subjective impression, but 4-5 years ago, such sites were
"blocked" much faster after reports - while today it can take a very long time, and sometimes nothing happens at all. As for the fact that it may be difficult for someone reviewing a report to conclude that a website is phishing, I always clearly state the original link so that it is very easy to make a comparison and act in the correct manner.
The real question is how much of this work is still done by humans, and how much by AI - because I think the latter can perhaps do it faster, but not as efficiently as humans can.
