cactiguide - apparently a shady website.

Post by Melt In The Sun »

OpenDNS has recently listed this as a phishing site. Thus, I'm posting this from my phone, so please forgive any typing errors! Here is a little bit of discussion about this:

I reported to OpenDNS that this is a legit site, but as of now it.i Is still blocked. Not sure if there's a workaround or not, or if other folks are having.this problem.

Hm, can get on now. Maybe the report I sent yesterday got through.

Still, if there are some hidden phishing pages on here somewhere (as that linked conversation discusses) let's nuke 'em!

Looks like the phishing pages are all located under this heading:

http://cactiguide.com/ambienteseguro/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

For example:
http://www.phishtank.com/phish_detail.p ... id=1591110" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Hi Danny,
There were some phishing files on the server, but these were all deleted promptly and I had the host do a scan and they confirmed everything was cleaned up.
