Kinman website - blocked as phishing risk

ToneControl

I am getting a block from the browser and Cisco Umbrella, 
Certificate issues plus 
"This site is blocked due to a phishing threat."
mobile.kinman.com

Is their website compromised?

the second post here says it's not a false positive:
False positive: www.kinman.com - Chrome - Malwarebytes Forums

I use virustotal.com for anything I downloaded no matter where from. They also have URL scanner. That domain looks like a major problem

You’ll not be hearing any noise from that site.

Kinman have had issues with their site in the past. It was hacked badly at one point and brought down for some time - at least a week I think. It's a poorly designed site that actually contains some excellent content if you can be bothered to battle it.

Both the original ('Classic') and Modern ('Mobile') sites are working for me right now.

I'm a fan of their pickups - I own several sets - but their website is challenging to say the least, which it shouldn't be in this day and age. It's a shame because their pickups are the best noiseless pickups I've tried by some margin. There's really no excuse for such a poor website though and I imagine it loses them business.

I think the website is odd because it's a quirky one-man business scaled up with more workers, but he needs to fix it now
