About the vendor
Yandex Safe Browsing is Yandex's equivalent of Google Safe Browsing, identifying malicious websites including phishing pages, malware distributors, and deceptive content. It powers security warnings in Yandex Browser, Russia's most popular browser, and feeds into Yandex's search safety filters. Yandex Browser has over 100 million users, predominantly in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and other Russian-speaking markets.
A Yandex Safe Browsing flag shows full-screen security warnings to Yandex Browser users visiting your site, blocking access for over 100 million users across Russian-speaking markets. Additionally, Yandex's search engine may label your site as dangerous in search results, directly affecting your search visibility and click-through rate in Russia.

Use the Yandex Webmaster at https://webmaster.yandex.com/. Security and violations > "Violation fixed". Requires a Yandex login and a verified site. Enter the exact URL(s), pick the correct category if asked and say why the verdict is wrong. Save the confirmation or ticket number.
Use both channels. Email sbapi@support.yandex.ru. Subject: "False positive: example[.]com" plus your reference. Plain text, no links or attachments, domains defanged. Give the URL(s), VirusTotal label, what the site does, why the verdict is wrong and what you fixed. If Yandex rejects a "Violation fixed" request, you cannot resubmit for 30 days. Make sure the site is fully clean first.
No reply or change on VirusTotal after 7 days? Reply once in the same thread or ticket with your reference; never open duplicates. Then try the other channel. If declined, ask what evidence they need.
