Need Help with Blocked Site - URL:Phishing
« on: January 04, 2019, 10:49:17 AM »
Hi All,

We blocked an abusive user a few months back and earlier today he was mass mailing with our domain in the URL. Avast is now recognizing our site as a Phishing threat. The abusive user is completely shut down and our site in no way facilitates malicious behavior.

Website is *** (.) com

Could our URL kindly be removed as a threat, we are getting a lot of complaints from our community of users with accessing the site.

VirusTotal shows BitDefender as blocking us for the same issue and we have submitted a false-positive there as well. All other services show a clean result.

Thank you

Just FYI, you're also blacklisted by Norton, see https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/ipqualityscore.com

Thank you, we submitted the FP there already as well! Looks like Avast just removed the block for us, so thank you mods for reviewing this.

Avast by far had the most complaints from our users about being blocked so seems like the most popular service.

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!
