Malicious Obfuscated content found for that URL
Obfuscation could be de-obfuscated  as: "document.write('<a href=\"mailto:webcontactATsocialcam dot com\">Email Us<\/a>');"

So any kind of obfuscated content will alert Zulu's Scanner?

Hi !Donovan,

For me it is just also a foolproof anti-spam measure, but it can also be used reversely,
eset detected cache poised for that site...
Conditional compilation used here to sniff: /*@cc_on!@*/ false
The alternative would naturally be: var isMSIE = /*@cc_on!@*/!1;

Hi Pondus & !Donovan,

That means that the Zcaler flag is because of the inline script flagged by Google Safebrowsing, but I think that was just obfuscation taken as a potential XSS problem, see: htxp://apidock.com/rails/ActionView/Helpers/UrlHelper/mail_to#355-Javascript-encoding-DOES-work- (poster Bounga on Flowdock blog gives the same encoded script). So I would say, verdict: false positive,
