example2.com /some-path phishing-filter phishing website detected 2022-12-21T12:34:56Z

Compressed version

All filters are also available as gzip- and brotli-compressed.

Snort 2 rule is only available in compressed format in pages.dev due to the platform's 25MB file size limit

Issues

This blocklist operates by blocking the whole website, instead of specific webpages; exceptions are made on popular websites (e.g. https://docs.google.com/), in which webpages are specified instead (e.g. https://docs.google.com/phishing-page). Phishing webpages are only listed in URL-based filter, popular websites are excluded from other filters.

Popular websites are as listed in the Umbrella Popularity List (top 1M domains + subdomains), Tranco List (top 1M domains), Cloudflare Radar (top 1M domains) and this custom list.

If you wish to exclude certain website(s) that you believe is sufficiently well-known, please create an issue or merge request.

This blocklist only accepts new phishing URLs from OpenPhish and mitchellkrogza/Phishing.Database.

Please report new phishing URL to OpenPhish or mitchellkrogza/Phishing.Database.
