FALSE POSITIVE PHISHING THREAT


Recommended Posts

Visitors to a website I recently created are seeing a Malwarebytes warning that the site may be a phishing site.

It is a false positive.  The site is https://menlooaksvoices.com/

It is a very small website built with React serving static files from an AWS EC2 server.  It does provide users a way to share their emails with me, so that they can be sent an invitation to join a community messaging service hosted by groups.io.   Their email address is posted through an AWS gateway to a lambda that uses the AWS Simple Email Service to dispatch an email to me which contains the user's email address.  This allows me to issue an "invite" from https://menlooaksvoices@groups.io so they can join our group on groups.io.

This is a community service website, not a phishing site!

Thank you for your help with this.

David -

If I understand the reply to my Forum request, you have decided not to remove the phishing warning.

If this is correct, is there something I can do to change your position on this? We are not trying to trick people into doing anything they don't want to do.  And if it is the fact that we are asking for their email address on our site that is causing your warning, it is because we need their email address to dispatch an invitation from another site (groups.io).

No.  Sorry, you have it all wrong

  1. I moved your post from Newest Malware Threats  as this was a proposed False Positive Browser Guard Heuristic web request and not new Windows file "malware" submission.
  2. I posted a ScreenShot of the actual blockage for associated Malwarebytes' Staff to act upon.
