How do I remove myself from the abused-legit component of the Domain Blocklist?

Search, review and request removal of “abused legit” hostnames via the IP and Domain Reputation Checker.

If your hostname/domain is listed, we recommend you follow these basic steps:

  1. Take the website/server offline while it is being fixed, if possible.
  2. Remove all infected files.
  3. Update the content management system (CMS), and all plugins and extensions to the latest and most secure versions.
  4. Ensure the server itself is secure, or ask a system administrator to perform a security audit.
  5. Change all passwords. Strong passwords should be used, and where possible, two-factor authentication also.
