Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Found a "check site status" page for it:
 https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-
 browsing/search?url=bamsoftware.com

 Looks like they do blame the entire domain, both the base domain and the
 snowflake-broker URLs currently report the status:

 This site is unsafe

 The site bamsoftware.com contains harmful content, including pages that:

     Install unwanted or malicious software on visitors’ computers
     Contain unwanted or malicious software

 FWIW, they do have an appeals process:
 https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/security/hacked/request_review
 but I've no idea what credentials or flaming hoop jumping that would
 require.
