How do I report a phishing or scam website and get it taken down?

Submit the URL at https://blackwall.report/report. Blackwall triages the case, captures forensic evidence, files with blocklists such as Google Safe Browsing, SmartScreen, APWG and URLhaus, and opens a takedown with the hoster - escalating to the registrar and network operator if needed.

Is reporting a malicious website to Blackwall free?

Yes. Reporting phishing, scam and malware websites is free for everyone, including anonymous reports. Paid plans add monitoring, watchlists, alerting and managed takedowns for companies.

Abuse contact lookup

An abuse report only works if it reaches the party that controls the domain or the server. This lookup reads the public registry and network records for a domain and shows the abuse addresses they publish.

How this works

The domain is looked up in RDAP, the structured successor to WHOIS, which registries and registrars publish.
The domain is resolved to an IP address, and that address is looked up at the regional internet registry to find the network operator's abuse contact.
Only public registry data is shown. Nothing is stored against your name and no report is sent on your behalf.
The lookup is limited to 10 requests per hour per visitor to keep it free for everyone.

Don't want to chase this yourself?

Report the domain to Blackwall and our team handles the abuse reports to the registrar, the hosting provider and the browser blocklists, then tracks the case until the site is offline.
