False Positive | heyzine.com #1298

Description

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

Why do you believe this is a false-positive?

I'm the heyzine founder and the technical lead. Our product is one of the world's top 10,000 most visited websites.

We distribute user-provided content, so we have systems in place and people screening the content to ensure there is no phishing on the millions of URLs on our domain.

We had many users complaining and we found out our main domain (heyzine.com) is on your phishing database. This is clearly an error.
You also detected this link which corresponds to phishing from a heyzine account we removed long ago: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/7ec6330215.html

Adding this specific link makes sense and we also took action as soon as we found it, but flagging the whole domain is a false positive that is impacting the rest of the millions of links we provide.

Could you please remove the main domain false positive? This is impacting our business and damaging heyzine's reputation.

Best regards,
Albert Balada
