About the phising site, there is some kind of phising related to child porn, someone hacks a site, uploads a fake CP site that leads to a fake credit card processor and the site is spammed, the scammer gets this way some credit card numbers belonging to pedos, it's the only scam on the net that gets me an smile, a pedo getting his CC drained by a scammer :D

this would explain namecheap talking about a phish site in a ticket about CP
That's exactly what I figured too. And in such instances, the easy, and often correct, answer is to remove the links (even if they're to pages that look ok, because they might not be - some phish exploits are masked very well and difficult for webmasters to spot) until the issue is resolved; provides time to prepare moving to another webhost.

Regarding phishing, the irony is that CP is one of the few remaining content niches for which many people will still whip out their credit card number and pay exorbitant fees to access with little to no thought - for phishers it's like shooting fish in a barrel.
