How to protect from: Fraudulent Web Site Found on Server? (3)

---

I was contacted by Cloudflare that a phishing report was filed for one of my landers.

It was a standard spinning wheel for iPhone with backbutton script and push sub collection, no brand logos used.

Two days later I was contacted by Hetzner (I host Binom and my landers there). They asked me for clarification within 24h or otherwise possibly shut down my server.

For me was quite a surprise on how they got my server IP since I used caching on cloudflare (on standard option).

Questions:

- How do you react in such cases?
- Are there actually geos where such a lander causes legal concerns?
- How to avoid that my server IP can be detected? --> Getting report from cloudflare I think is good enough.

1) Read the policy, and reply within the required deadline. If you do not reply, they can decide to take your service down even if you have done nothing wrong, otherwise they might be liable in case of problem.

If they have no definion of phishing in their policy, you can look at wikipedia/an official dictionary to see what is phishing, and they explain that you do not see anything wrong according to this definition. This is likely a competitor trying to scare you, or someone upset. But unless you have really modified it, this lander does not do phishing.

2) Backup all info, if you do not have a backup process, put one in place. When your server is gone, it might be difficult to get your data back.

I won't bother with that. CloudFlare probably forwarded the request to your hosting company to protect themselves.

I've experienced the same thing recently. Since you're using Binom, you should make use of their LP protection script.
