False Positive | pointleoboatclub.com.au

What are the subjects of the false-positive (domains, URLs, or IPs)?

pointleoboatclub.com.au

Why do you believe this is a false-positive?

This website is not consistently monitored as it is setup for a local community club, there was some sort of breach (my guess dodgy wordpress plugin) which resulted in the phishing sites which caused the blockage from being present. I have since deleted all those paged, upped the security on the accounts access and removed all dodgy plugins. So this issue should not happen again. Threat is removed so is safe to unblock.

How did you discover this false-positive(s)?

Website was hacked

Where did you find this false-positive if not listed above?

I am on the committee for the club and manage the technology systems for the club.

Have you requested a review from other sources?

I have requested reviews from a large list of companies that have also blacklisted us. I can't fully remember them all but the ones who have gotten back to me and have since whitelisted the clubs domain are: ESET, CRDF, BitDefender, G-Data, and a few more, this morning it was 16 companies on virus total and now its down to 9.

Do you have a screenshot?
