#Netcraft describes itself as "digital risk protection" and "Advanced Cybercrime Defense". Having been flagged by them 4 times now, and each time with an easily recognizable false positive (they also pinged our provider, which then threatened with actions – and added our domain to their blacklist right away!), I'm quite fed up with their seemingly incompetence: first shoot, then ask. All automated, obviously no humans involved on their end.

in reply to IzzyOnDroid ✅ • • •(2/2) In short:
* they send you a mail with a takedown request
* the report itself contains evidence it's a false positive
* your domain goes into their blacklist immediately nevertheless
* your provider gets flagged to take action
If you use their "service" (blacklist, app, whatever), think twice how much you'd trust that.
Oh, @duckduckgo ("The feed of harmful domains is provided to us by our partner, Netcraft.") Please take care!

in reply to Kapirsnick • • •@Kapirsnick afraid that would only get a load of domain holders busy. Netcraft runs on auto-pilot, I cannot remember ever having seen a human response. It's always the same mail template, only the date and the alleged malware URL differ. The initial mail even repeats 2 days after having responded to the original one (and having filed a Report Mistake via their form).
I have to admit, it might certainly drive their reputation through the basement, but at what cost…
