What Dynadot asks for
- Choose the "Phishing" category.
- The domain, the full path of the phishing page and your official website.
- The VPN or proxy location and the user agent needed to see the page.
- Files, optional. For phishing that came by email, report it as spam abuse with the full headers.
Take full-page screenshots that show the address bar before you report: the page may be gone or hidden from you later. Our takedown request template covers all of the above.
What to expect
Dynadot states no timing and says "you may not hear back from us unless we require more information".
Dynadot's phishing category says "The website must be live and contain a login area." Report while the page is up, and say what it asks visitors to enter or connect.
Accredited registrars of generic domains must act on actionable evidence of phishing under their ICANN contract. If nothing happens, see how to escalate to ICANN.
Report it here too
- The host. The registrar controls the domain, the host controls the site. The lookup shows when the site sits behind Cloudflare.
- Browsers. Google Safe Browsing and Netcraft make browsers warn visitors, often before the domain is suspended.
- Wallets. See how to report a phishing site to wallets.
