OpenDNS blocked FJ...

Mewstarz · 07-12-11, 01:01 AM

So apparently on my computer I had something installed (not installed I guess, configured) that is apparently a internet security thing (blocks sites that are bad and stuff). I have a bookmark thing on Firefox so I can load FJ fast to see what my status is. A few hours ago, it was fine. But about 5 minutes ago, I went to check and it said that OpenDNS had blocked the site because it was a Phishing Website (a website that steals info, passwords, etc.)

So yeah, just a warning if you have it installed or whatever and you can't load FJ. It wouldn't even show the referral status image of my FJ account in my signature here.

To Alex and Richard: You might want to contact them or something. I know FJ is legit, but if someone has that installed and sees they marked it as a phishing site, you could lose sign ups ):

By the way I figured out how to get rid of it so yeah

Do you have any screenshots of the error message so we can get it removed?

Hi Rich,

I believe this is going to be the cause

Seems to be just Apple.FJ, eep!

chigley · 07-12-11, 07:57 AM

I've submitted the "this is not a phishing site" form, figured the more people who do it, the better

moviedrome · 07-12-11, 08:18 AM

Cheers, yes if everyone can do it then so much the better

Lol, and it looks like it's just one persons ref link! How odd!

Will submit form too

That's mine as it happens

Apple FJ has also been blocked by Websense for a long long time, there were some posts about that ages ago.

Mewstarz · 07-12-11, 11:24 AM

I didnt get any screenshots, if you want one I can try to get it back on my computer

May sound stupid but how do you do that? Couldn't find the option

Apparently it has already been verified as a 'phish', so you can't vote otherwise

I have flagged it though

Ojaser6 · 07-12-11, 12:59 PM

I am just wondering how they "verified" FJ as a phish. Do they even have any evidence...

Well as we're not then they can't have. I think the fact that a few people have 'confirmed' it means that they say it is verified.

Are you using a dodgy method that makes it look like a phish?

Mewstarz · 07-12-11, 06:45 PM

I just re-enabled OpenDNS and it's not blocked anymore (the my status page atleast).. Not sure what was going on.
