False Positive: Site Blocked - URL:Phishing
« on: April 03, 2019, 04:05:05 AM »


The avast software is saying that our company domain wxw.bitrue.com is blocked because of phishing URL.

This has caused huge concerns among our customers who had your software on their laptops. Can we understand what happened here and what had triggered the false positive??

Thank you in advance for clarification.

Kind regards

Bitrue

Sorry for the inconvenience, I added bitrue[.]com to our cleanset so it wouldn't happen again.

Hi contacto38,

Report here: https://www.avast.com/false-positive-file-form.php
The only ones that can give a final verdict and possibly unblock your website are avast team members.
We here are not. Just volunteers with relative knowledge of website security intelligence.

At the moment avast detects certain issues with sites on CloudFlare and it's anti-bot obfuscated code,
combined with clickfunnels' proximanova code.

Hopefully this issue will be sorted out soon between avast, clickfunnels & CloudFlare.  :P

Your website is redirecting here: -https://www.fernandarestrepo.com/inscribeteparalarepeticionn1601675656060
I see no cloaking, no spammy links, normal status codes, no iframes and no further blacklists mentioned.

Hello sir. I can not visit my website. Avast call website has been infected with URL: Phishing. Please check my website and solved this.
hxtp://bictf.org and hxtps://bictf.org

Use the link in Reply #11 https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=226334.msg1562447#msg1562447

Whilst not blacklisted in that check, https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/bictf.org there are some other issues.

Also this check https://webhint.io/scanner/21c4cbc6-e159-426b-a684-0c8aeba65ad7 especially security based issues.

I don't know if these would result in avasts detection (possibly not) or make it more likely that the site could be hacked.  Which is why you should report it directly to avast using the link in Reply #11 that I mentioned above.
