The Browser Guard is still blocking the sites as of today. store.gatewestcoin.com store.albern.com

The online store portion is using http yes, because no login credentials, passwords, personal information, or credit cards are being transmitted or used on that site. Once a customer wishes to place their order, they click on Login, and are taken to a page with https: for a secure login and checkout. Why should the site be blocked when no personal information is asked for or transmitted on a non-secure page??

Additionally, our subsidiary is also being blocked. The url is store.albern.com See attached screenshot for that site, using the same website code.

Our online store, store.gatewestcoin.com , has been blocked today by Malwarebytes browser guard for insecure login. This is simply untrue. How can I get it removed? Why does this keep happening??

The "ethical hacker" who contacted us works for a 'security company' called Commtel in Pakistan. I am filing a report with the law enforcement authorities because our site was blocked by Malwarebytes due to this individual, who attempted to extort us. That is a crime. I do not understand how Malwarebytes was able to block our site, with the exact description 'insecure login' which this extortionist used as a means to try and receive payment, without some involvement with this company or person. There must have been some sort of involvement either between this individual and Malwarebytes, or this company and Malwarebytes. This stinks. I have records and communications, and an international incident report is going to be made today with law enforcement.

Thank you for removing the block. It's sad that an extortionist can simply submit our site to vendors for blacklisting, without verification or notification or anything. The "ethical hacker" is using ransom techniques in a new way, by demanding payment from us to "keep quiet" and when we tell them to shove off, they have our site blocked by Malwarebytes, of all things. Which is very suspicious because we use Malwarebytes in the office... How is it possible that ANYONE can simply provide you with a website url to block? Seems like a nasty way of affecting a businesses competition...

Here is the screenshot.

Our online store, store.gatewestcoin.com , has been blocked today by Malwarebytes browser guard for insecure login. This is simply untrue. I received an email from an "ethical hacker" demanding payment for bugs in our site, which do not exist, or else they would submit our site to be blocked. I refused to pay anything to them, and have now received this block. How can I get it removed?
