Hi Manos, Thank you for your message and for the work you have done to secure synectics.gr.

Below is some additional context on why the domain is still flagged and what happens next:

  1. Listing on Phishing Army – The domain appeared on Phishing Army because, between 16 June 2025 and 24 June 2025, it hosted a phishing page. Evidence suggests the domain was temporarily compromised by threat actors during that window.

  2. As Gerd has already noted, the same URL is currently classified as malicious on PhishTank, which is one of the upstream feeds we monitor.

  3. I have submitted a re-check request to PhishTank, since the malicious content is now offline and the URL returns a harmless status.

  4. Once PhishTank clears the domain, the change will propagate to Phishing Army and the other blocklists that rely on those feeds. At that point, synectics.gr will be removed from our own AdGuard filters as well.

We will keep an eye on the PhishTank ticket and update you as soon as the external listings change.
