Phishing - really !!

[timconsidine]

Just received abuse notices relating to 2 instances of Baserow. Really ?!

We previously contacted you about this issue on 2023-08-04 09:15:36 (UTC).
Since our last notification, the following additional URL(s) have been detected:

hxxps://baserow.domain[.]tld/login

Would it be possible to have the fraudulent content, and any other associated fraudulent content, taken down as soon as you are able to?

How on earth does baserow generate traffic that looks like phishing ?

No changes to Cloudron instance other than rebooting it. Or was there an automated upgrade ?

Really starting to get annoyed by these reports.

Maybe I have misunderstood
Hetzner (hosting provider of my Cloudron insurance) forwarded abuse notices from Netcraft.
Looks like Netcraft detected attempts to login to my baserow instance.
But …

• who are Netcraft, I don’t use them, why should they care
• why do I get an abuse notice ?! I didn’t do anything, why is it a concern when login fails ?

Confused why incident generated, why it should be an abuse, and how should I reply to Hetzner ?
“Sorry, someone tried to login but failed. Not man abuse. System is working as it should.”

How is it an abuse report if login fails ?

[timconsidine]

@girish Yes ! Exactly !

Update in case it helps others.
I used the report a mistake button on Netcraft, which led to
