Chrome says this is a reported phishing page.

It's for the favicon of all things: http://bruceackerman.com/paypal-redesign/img/favicon.ico

Holy cow, Google, this is pretty good for automatic protection. It looks like Google sees that the guy is hosting the Paypal favicon (or something very close to it)... why would any legit site do that? Even the redesign doesn't need to show the Paypal favicon. So Google errs on the side of caution.

Wow, that is really cool. Good job Google!

For comparison, the actual Paypal favicon: https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/icon/pp_favicon_x.ico

I get this same thing but can't figure out why. The are no forms or suspicious links. Aside from Google Analytics, there's a single (conditional) JS include, and the code looks harmless. The page looks safe to me.
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'm looking into that phishing error, strange...
seen the same with Chrome on Linux
