github.com

Current blocklist

phishing

Why is this a false positive?

This domain is likely an odd mix of true positive and false positive. Adding it to these lists however, will commonly break automation around github upstreams and is worth further conversation.

Investigation\n\n- Checked phishing.txt: github.com not found as a domain to block (only appears in comments).\n- Checked generated formats (phishing-ags.txt, phishing-dnsmasq.txt): same.\n- Checked all lists for exact domain 'github.com' with IP 0.0.0.0: not found.\n- However, subdomains like collector-cdn.github.com and pivotal.github.com are listed in everything.txt (and thus in other formats) as part of other blocklists (likely ads, malware, etc.).\n\nThe domain github.com itself is not blocked by this project. If the concern is about specific subdomains, please file a separate issue for those subdomains with evidence.\n\nClosing this issue as the requested action is not applicable.

Thanks @gap579137 - please note I really do appreciate the project, but also want to note that the closure would make it seem I reported an incorrect entry, these records were removed within c149c53 about 30 minutes before your response here ref + ref
