How to request a review

Website / URL review

OpenPhish accepts false-positive reports by email and publishes corrections for confirmed errors.

  1. Email [email protected] with the affected URL.
  2. Escape or defang the URL so that mail protection is less likely to block the message.
  3. Explain the context and why the classification is incorrect.
  • OpenPhish states that URLs confirmed as phishing when first discovered are not removed merely because they later change.
  • For a confirmed false positive, OpenPhish says it updates its products and submits a verdict correction to VirusTotal.
