What Are The Ways To Report Possibly Malicious And/Or Incorrectly Blocked URLs To DynDNS

Hello,

I was wondering what are some of the ways to report Possibly Malicious and/or False Positive (Incorrectly Blocked) URLs (Websites)/Spam/Phishing/Etc.?

Any E-mail Addresses (Such As US-Cert & APWG), Web Submission Forums (Such As Symantec/Norton DNS), Forum Categories/Message Boards (Such As OpenDNS), Way To Report URLs From The Software Client, Website (Such As PhishTank), From The Block Page (Such As ClearCloud DNS), Etc.?

So far all I have found was a Web Submission Forum & E-mail for Barracuda Networks (and I did not even find that on the DynDNS Website, I had to do a Google Search for it after I noticed that Barracuda Networks powers the DynDNS Internet Guide):

http://www.barracudacentral.org/report#website-category

http://www.barracudacentral.org/lookups#domain-category

http://www.barracudanetworks.com/ns/support/submit.php

spam@barracuda.com

If not, I think it would be a good idea to provide various ways for the Community to report Possibly Malicious and/or False Positive URLs to DynDNS to help improve its Malware Blocking Capability. :)

Thank you, -John Jr :)

If this is about the categories used by the Internet Guide, then this is the correct URL to report additons or issues with "Web site Category Submission":
http://www.barracudacentral.org/report#website-category

If you want to check the categorization of a domain, then use this:
http://www.barracudacentral.org/lookups#domain-category

This is a fairly new forum and there are a few things to be sorted out (the emails is one that they already know about).

I think this forum is ideal for questions that have a single answer - which is what it's designed for. It isn't so good for lots of back and forwards communications since voting resets the order of posts. Both have their advantages and disadvantages and DynDNS have both available to people.

Edit The old forum is here, just be aware that it tends to be less frequented by experienced users so you may get a much slower response there.

As DynDNS's Internet Guide service is powered by Barracuda, that is the correct way of reporting changes desired to the service.

Edit
I agree with you, it should. The more people that independently say that to DynDNS the more likely they are to listen ;)

Thank you very much RotBlitz. :)

I did not know you had commented at first, since the e-mail alerts are still not working, I sometimes manually check for comments on my threads; I hope the DynDNS fixes that soon, what is the problem, do they need help on that or something?

If so, they should ask, I am sure someone out there can help them; especially if they are using Open Source Software for the Forum. :)

You're welcome! Regarding the forum software: they changed the options a lot recently appearing to be a more trimmed down version. And yes, not everything seems to be working well and consistently here. But I'm sure it will improve over time.
