Is anybody else seeing this?

 

OpenDNS, Eset, and Opera are all reporting the site as fraudulent

Yes - OpenDNS is reporting o2.co.uk as:

 

Phishing Site Blocked Phishing is a fraudulent attempt to get you to provide
personal information under false pretenses.

 


I've even tried turning off the phishing warnings from my OpenDNS dashboard.

Have changed my DNS servers to Google

Same here. 

It was working fine until a few minutes ago, now OpenDNS doesn't let me go to o2.co.uk, it reports it as a phishing site and blocks access.

I'm getting on it OK now, had to change my DNS servers and over rule Eset.

it's not the community site that it's blocking, O2.co.uk is the one I had trouble with.

Hi guys,

Thanks for letting me know about this, I'll raise it with the tech team to see if I can find out why its happening.

@davethorp, is Kaspersky blocking the community too or just the homepage?

Guys, let me know if anything changes or if you experience any blocks on other browsers that you use. Also, those of you who have seen blocks, can you let me know exactly what is said on the blocking page that stops you from entering?

I am at work now, we use OpenDNS here too, but I can see o2.co.uk just fine, no blocks in place. Has it been fixed?

Now working for me using OpenDNS servers.

 

I reported the problem to OpenDNS yesterday, maybe they are super-efficient Smiley Surprised

Thanks for updating on this guys, I'll talk to the web team tomorrow to see if we can make sure it doesn't happen.

In the meantime, let me know if the situation changes for you.
