OpenPhish listed your domain. We manage the removal.
About the vendor
OpenPhish is a community-powered anti-phishing platform that maintains a real-time feed of verified phishing URLs. Their database is freely accessible to security researchers and is used as a foundational input in many commercial and open-source security products, including web filters, email security gateways, and browser extensions. OpenPhish is one of the most widely referenced phishing URL feeds in the security industry.
Because OpenPhish is a freely available, widely trusted feed, their data is ingested by an enormous number of security products and custom security tooling. A listing propagates rapidly across the security ecosystem and can result in simultaneous blocks across many different security products and organizational firewalls.
