As of this morning my webstore www.fastpakfoods.com is being blocked as “Malware and Phishing” by XFinity. I haven’t even launched my site yet and was hoping to do so this week.
I have sent a ticket to XFinity about this block but their review process can take at least three days.
Why is this happening? What would cause my site to be blocked like this before it is even launched.
I don’t have a solution, but within the last few hours the same has happened to my website. Also submitted a form but have been unable to find out what exactly triggered this.
