There's already another post on this and nobody seems to know what's going on. Several have emailed the team for help.

Go to the relevant URL; https://owlcation.com/ads.txt search for your pub ID.

Forgive me if this has already been discussed but I have been away for a while. I just searched for one of my hubs using Google chrome and it came up with a yellow warning button next to it saying "this site has a bad reputation". I searched for many of my other hubs and got...
