"Google Safe Browsing missed 84% of confirmed phishing sites in our dataset. […] Google is, quite literally, hosting phishing attacks on its own infrastructure and not catching them with its own detection tools"

Google Safe Browsing missed 84% of confirmed phishing sites in our dataset. Here's what we found and what it means.www.norn-labs.com
Day 4 again, without any response. Quite a reliable service that: you can rely on it to let you wait. What does that run on, that it takes that long? An Arduino Pico? Needless to say that the alleged malware file does not even exist, and never was malicious.
Filed another review request.
Again: disable that stuff. Seems to have more false positives than real stuff. Especially as entire domains hosting the real stuff (like storage.googleapis.com) are excluded from scan.
Day 4. A response, finally. The usual clown message: Review failed. Well, the "clown message" is the one in the attached graphic: They don't know themselves. Something something link, but they don't know which. Or, in other words: "These URLs host malware or unwanted software downloads: None". 🤦♂️
If that's how reliable their services are, maybe they should NOT hold the keys to the entire Internet (and app stores)? 🤔
I had filed a reevaluation request before I tooted this. 2 days later, no reply yet (why does their bot take THAT long?). Instead I hear, another "fine tool" kicked in: Play "Protect" refuses installation of the allegedly malicious app, and even uninstalls them AUTOMATICALLY, without asking you! https://github.com/sunilpaulmathew/AppVaultX/issues/6#issuecomment-4079105010
Another rather questionable tool you might consider to get rid of (unless you install a lot from "questionable sources").

Flagged as Trojan by Play Protect
The software (IzzyOnDoid Version) was automatically deinstalled by Google play protect. It says that the application is a fake and can steal personal information. No further information provided. I...riedel (GitHub)
Oh my, those clowns again. They cannot even tell servers apart, but want to play the "Safety Police"? What are they doing for a living, by the way (apart from slurping and selling our data)?
Yes, that's the same file as in January. On a different server. But they flag yet another, that does not even have that file. Incompetent folks, they should shut down that "service". Will they ever stop that nonsense?!?
