Manipulation of Online Threat Prevention

DIVERSE

I noticed that BitDefender is in a minority of AV products reporting https://fionakatauskas.com/ as a suspicious website.

I think this is a false positive, and it occurred to me that as the website of a political cartoonist, fraudulent reports of phishing might have been made by activists who disagree with the cartoonist's stance in some cartoon.

I have no knowledge of whether that actually occurred in this case, but it is something to guard against.

If you believe a website or file has been incorrectly blocked by Bitdefender, you can submit the details to Bitdefender  malware researchers by filling out the form at the link below:

If the website or file is found to be incorrectly blocked, the detection will be removed within a maximum of 72 hours. However, if the detection persists after 72 hours, the website or file will be considered malicious, as determined by Bitdefender malware research team, and the detection will remain.
