    For now the problem is solved: there was a problem with WP plugins updates on my webhost, not with reports.

    After they reactivated my webhosting account all phishing warnings disappear

    ^:)^

    But it's very strange - what do plugins updates have with "phishing" to do???

    Because certain WP plugins have vulnerabilities which hackers can easily find and add malware to your website which google can then report as being a phishing site or malware, etc.

    That's why its important to keep your plugins updated and your site secure.

    Thanks, @s4nt0s.

    I always update my plugins. But in this case I don't have any idea what problem my webhosting had - there were NO plugins that wanted to be updated (15 minutes before account deactivating) and for a long time - not a one! But after reactivating nearly all plugins wanted an update... It seems some of them don't like each other

    :(
