Default Link to a website in someone's signature throwing up blackisted warning

Hi Lydia,

I just looked at a beautiful card in Hobbydujour's gallery here: CC473 Yellow Roses by hobbydujour - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

and my firewall threw up a warning that this particular website was blacklisted: A Walk Down Memory Lane (obviously I am NOT including the hyperlink!). When I looked down at the comments from people, I noticed that the first comment from vdutchr had a link to A Walk Down Memory Lane in her signature which has been blacklisted. You can see the Sucuri website checker results in my attachment. I was just worried that it might affect SCS and end up having SCS blacklisted too. Not sure if you can do anything about it but thought I would pass it on for your information.

JoBear2 and UnderstandBlue,
A Walk Down Memory Lane is my site, and I have forwarded your screen shot and bulletin board post to my IT guy. He will get to the bottom of it, but I assure you, Google does not have it blacklisted, nor does he know why that site does.

Again, he will get to the bottom of it immediately.
Thank You for your time!
Lisa

I have had my support team thoroughly check this out.. They are are PCI engineers from securityMetrics the most popular security forensics investigators available.

They have confirmed no Web Forgery messages have appeared. They also notified us of the Sucuri free scanners false flag scripts that are encrypted as they did scan and the results were as expected.

Blacklist Status
Domain blacklisted on Phish tank: *****.com - reference - Phish Tank is a paid service of course this is possible they would flag for a sale marketing scheme..

Domain clean by Google Safe Browsing: (removed)
Domain clean by Norton Safe Web: (removed)
Domain clean on the Opera browser: (removed)
Domain clean by SiteAdvisor: (removed)
Domain clean by the Sucuri Malware Labs blacklist: (removed)
Domain clean on Yandex (via Sophos): (removed)
Domain clean by ESET: (removed)

All others are clean..

Do you have any solid evidence our website is a threat? We have not so far found any and PCI Scans passed that confirm safe usage of our website. I would also like to add (removed) is monitored daily by securityMetrics and scanned daily as well.

Thank you for any information you could provide to find any problems and confirm a non safe browsing experience.

Great - thank you!

The Google scans can lag a bit - the last time we had a link to a site with malware it took us out of commission for several days and our scans ran clean prior to that even though the link was here, so I'd see if Succuri can give you more info on what Jocelyn is seeing since it's their flag.

We did have an attack a few weeks ago from a phishing site, but it has since been cleaned up. It appears that is what Succuri is seeing. If you go to the Succuri site and type in our web address, you will see that everything else including Google shows our site as clean.

We will work on getting it cleared up through the PhishTank website as well, but again, we knew about it a few weeks ago and fixed it within minutes of it appearing.

Outstanding! Thank you and thank you for reporting all this to us - I really appreciate it.

Sad that there are people who spend time on doing this!

Unfortunately I will have to remove your signature links until it's clear though - abundance of caution!

Hi Lisa, if you copy and paste the following in your browser for the Norton website checker: https://safeweb.norton.com/report/sh...=www.*****.com which is another website checker that I often use, it will give you a report - scroll down to the end for further information. Norton has an orange box that you can click on if you are the website owner which I assume (?) will allow your site to be re-evaluated as being safe due to your engineers fixing the Phishing problem. Hope this helps!

And as Lydia already indicated, it is probably just a time-lag and I can imagine it is incredibly frustrating and so sad that people attack websites in this way. My DD's school website has been attacked twice in the past year with Referrer Spam which, when you clicked on links on the school website eg: school uniform photos, it sent you to very rude websites :shock:
