Hi Andreas Leong,

Some recommendation towards your site's improvement, also security related items * of which 125 security items:
249 in all: https://webhint.io/scanner/01c75d8f-cd88-4bd2-8c85-4804945ea3a6

(2) Emails can be fraudulently sent
(3) Unnecessary open ports

Still get a webshield detection for url-phishing from avast..probably an old McAfee blacklisting on IP domains.

Hi Andreas Leong,

You are welcome.

The only ones, that can come and unblock, are avast team members.
We here are just volunteers and in my case, someone with relevant knowledge of website security analysis issues,
third party JavaScript analysis and retirable JQuery libraries and ignoring best (code) policies
and security config. & header settings, being at that for over 12 years now here on the forums.

I am also working as a proctor at an Institute of Higher Education for Communication, Media & IT Studies,
so aware what happens in the field website developer education and technical IT (front-end/back-end),
Dom-XSS issues and other issues for instance.

So my advice is to wait for someone of Avast Team to react and give a final verdict, ;)

Hi Andreas,

I've disabled the detection and I strongly recommend focusing on your website security since we've seen quite a few phishing campaigns hosted on your site. Otherwise it is quite likely your whole website gets blocked again. In fact one of the campaigns is still live at 5dummies[.]com/en/wp-admin/js/z5.

Regards
Jiri

Hello Andreas Leong.

You will have to ask for a review to clear the reason obvious blocked is this result

Quote from: Avast
It seems that the provided URL is detected by Google Safe Browsing, as you can see in this report: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=5dummies.com

Once this is resolved in the Google service, Avast should automatically unblock the website as well.
