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. Ideally, take the website/server offline while remediating.
  2. Remove all infected files.
  3. Update the content management system (CMS), plugins, and extensions to the latest and most secure versions.
  4. Ensure the server is secure, or ask a system administrator to perform a security audit.
  5. Change all passwords. Ensure you use strong passwords, and where possible, add two-factor authentication.
