Blacklisted long URL (finance.yahoo.com)
impredicative opened this issue · 4 comments
Hi. I am sometimes getting a "Blacklisted long URL" 400 error for some legitimate news sites. For example:
- https://finance.yahoo.com/m/a8255075-9607-30b7-a123-7ec4368f11ad/apple-iphone-estimates-keep.html?.tsrc=rss
- https://finance.yahoo.com/news/apple-is-making-your-i-phone-more-secure-to-fight-off-nation-state-hackers-180008035.html?.tsrc=rss
Can this site (and any other news sites) be removed from the blacklist?
Ah, I think I know what is causing this, let me take a look.
Try now?
This was a botched regex in the config from attackers trying to use da.gd to phish appleid logins. The regex blocked a bit too much.
If you come across any other false positives, please let us know, we should be able to take care of them. There's quite a bit of logic flow right now for blacklisting because attackers like using short URLs to try to phish victims' personal information. We do a fair bit to try to prevent it, and sometimes legitimate stuff can get caught in the trap.
Ah.
Yes, they work now. Thanks so much.
Yes, will do.
