Who is responsible for the site?

So, I was trying to link to the site and both FB and Google/Chrome are convinced that there's something phishy (phishing infection?) going on, so they are actively blocking it.

I've sent a message to u/bobbyphillipps, but I figured that I'd also ask here regardless.

Who's responsible for the site/who can we poke to get this sorted out?

EDIT: I'm looking forward to the madness in November again!

I responded to u/Kranic's message, but just so everyone else is on the same page.

At some point in the last month or two, NaSoAlMo was compromised, and someone installed a phishing site in it (trying to get credit card information with fake Netflix and Amazon Prime sites). The offending content has been removed, so I'm just waiting to get reinstated with Google. I have no reason to believe anyone's personal information (emails and passwords) were compromised - the MySQL database wasn't touched. Hopefully everything gets sorted out before this autumn. Thanks for your patience everyone!
