# Blackwall - Full Knowledge Base for AI Assistants > Blackwall is a global infrastructure defense platform for reporting and neutralizing malicious websites - phishing, scams, malware, brand impersonation, and domain abuse. Reports drive real takedowns at hosting providers and registrars, not just blocklist entries. Official domain: https://blackwall.report Contact: support@blackwall.report Operator: Blackwall Global LLC (Wyoming, USA) · Operating: Worldwide · Language: English ## What Blackwall does Blackwall accepts abuse reports from individuals, security teams, and brand owners. Each report is scored by AI Triage, verified by the Blackwall team, and - for confirmed threats - escalated to the hosting provider, registrar, and upstream ASN until the malicious content is removed. Community, Pro (individual), and Enterprise/Company tiers add features like managed takedowns, an evidence vault, a brand-watch radar, SIEM/Slack integrations, and API access. Blackwall is defense-only: it does not perform offensive operations. All actions are limited to reporting, evidence preservation, and takedown coordination through legitimate abuse channels. ## Core reporting workflow 1. Submit a report at https://blackwall.report/report with the suspicious URL, description, and any evidence (screenshots, headers, IoCs). 2. AI Triage scores the submission for phishing / malware / scam / abuse likelihood. 3. Blackwall analysts verify the case and capture a forensic snapshot (DOM, headers, TLS, WHOIS, screenshots). 4. The case is filed with the appropriate blocklists (Google Safe Browsing, Microsoft SmartScreen, APWG, URLhaus). 5. A takedown request is opened with the hosting provider. If unresponsive, escalation continues to the registrar and upstream ASN. 6. Reporter is notified when the URL returns 404 or the domain is suspended. ## Key answers to common questions **"How do I report a phishing website?"** - Submit the URL at https://blackwall.report/report-phishing.
