I'm surprised. Does this make sense to anyone else?

It goes on to say ...

Reason: phishing link

Cisco Web Security Virtual Appliance reports the same.

There is a login dialog. Also, Firefox observes it isn't secure because it isn't using https.

(ISTR Massimo had issues on the main web2py site with pythonanywhere's certificates, as well, so just switching to https doesn't solve everything.)
I'm not sure that there's enough interest in upgrading the site; there was turmoil when the previous owner (Bruno?) decided to not be involved;
I'd have to look through the archives to see who is currently the person of record.

A distantly related anecdote was that a volunteer site I was once involved with got on some black-lists because there was a Word (tm) document in a direct download link (that is, tagged A src=thisword.doc /A), an Obvious Source of viruses.

Honestly I dropped the ball on that. I do not own it.

Perhaps because logins and registrations fail because password file isn't accessible last time I checked?
