What happens after you hit Report.
A Blackwall case in three stages — from the moment a report enters the pipeline to the moment the malicious infrastructure disappears from the internet.
A report is filed. Blackwall goes to work.
From submission to escalation — usually within minutes.
Any user — free or paid — submits a phishing, scam or malware URL. Our AI triage classifies the threat, preserves forensic evidence (screenshots, DOM, WHOIS, DNS, headers, TLS chain) and routes the case to the responsible hosting provider, registrar and blocklist authorities in parallel.
- AI classification & severity scoring
- Forensic snapshot stored in the Evidence Vault
- Abuse contacts resolved automatically (hoster, registrar, upstream)
- Case handed to the takedown pipeline
Report intake — the moment the case enters the pipeline.
The site gets flagged and restricted.
Within hours, browsers and security vendors start warning users.
Reports are propagated to Google Safe Browsing, Microsoft SmartScreen, APWG, URLhaus and partner feeds. Major browsers begin displaying interstitial warnings, email gateways start filtering the domain, and endpoint security tools quarantine it. The malicious page is still up — but effectively cut off from most victims.
- Google Safe Browsing & Microsoft SmartScreen interstitials
- APWG, URLhaus & partner blocklist entries
- Email gateways start rejecting links to the domain
- Endpoint & DNS filters begin blocking traffic
A browser warning like this is the first visible sign that the case is working.
The site is permanently taken down.
The hoster suspends. The registrar disables the domain. The threat is gone.
Our team drives escalation with the responsible hoster and registrar — with structured evidence, compliance-grade documentation and follow-up until the infrastructure is removed. The domain stops resolving, the server no longer serves content, and the case is closed with a full audit trail attached.
- Hosting account suspended by the provider
- Domain disabled or seized by the registrar
- DNS stops resolving — site is unreachable worldwide
- Case closed with immutable evidence chain
The end state we aim for: the malicious infrastructure no longer resolves.
Not every case ends in a full takedown — but every case moves the needle.
Some hosters cooperate within hours. Others take days of escalation. A few never suspend at all — but by then the domain is already flagged everywhere it matters, and the attacker's ROI collapses. That is how Blackwall protects users at scale.
