Help Protect Other Users
One of the most effective ways to help others in our community is to report phishing emails. Our tools scan and analyze your submissions every hour and add any newly found malware or phishing URLs to our lists right away. Below we have listed other ways to contribute to the Malware Patrol Project.

Report Phishing Emails & Suspicious Content
Please forward suspicious URLs and suspected phishing emails to [email protected]. Feel free to share this email with others. Our automated system will extract dangerous URLs, and in no more than an hour, they will be visited and analyzed. If malware or a phishing website is found, the address will be added to our blocklists which are used by thousands. One submission can make a huge impact!
