Why is the Netcraft Toolbar warning about a safe website?

0

There are several reasons why you may receive a warning about a website you know to be harmless. The toolbar has several built-in safety checks that will alert you if a URL contains suspicious characters, or a page is possibly susceptible to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. In these cases, if you are sure that the website poses no threat, you can ignore the warning by clicking ‘Yes’ to the warning dialog. Alternately, the toolbar warning may be a genuine error on our part. If you believe that the toolbar has incorrectly classified a safe site as a phishing attack, you can let us know by using the ‘Report Incorrectly Blocked URL’ link on the toolbar menu. You can also access the form directly. The toolbar will only ever warn you about suspicious websites by displaying a warning dialog; it will never cause the site to stop responding or display a ‘file not found’ page. Please be certain that the toolbar is displaying such a warning before contacting us.
