False positive - wcrespace.com - pleae whitelist

[ODVS]

Hi there,

Malwarebytes just started blocking one of my own websites - https://wcrespace.com - on the grounds of "potential scam".

I designed, coded and built that site. It's a video game fan project. We don't even offer any software to downloa yet, since we're still in the development phase.

I'd greatly appreciate it if the site could be whitelisted, please.

Many thanks,

Owen Davies

Hello Owen,

Can you please attach the log file or a screenshot?

As we are not detecting this domain with MB4.

Nice avatar by the way!

Thanks, Stefan! And thank you for the swift response.

I'm specifically getting this gate screen from Browser Guard when I try to visit the site:

Quick update - it appears to be this specific URL/page that's getting flagged:

https://wcrespace.com/pausemenu

It's a visual mockup of a potential in-game menu, that plays several audio files via Javascript on user interactions.

Is it possible this is what's causing the issue?

That's the problem.  Here's the technical reasons behind it, which we started enforcing with the most recent version of Browser Guard.  I have whitelisted the site, but that doesn't mean that the browsers won't tighten security there in the future.  Give it 15-30 minutes and you should be okay.
