What are the subjects of the false-positive (domains, URLs, or IPs)?

acortaurl.com
https://acortaurl.com

Why do you believe this is a false-positive?

Website Review / False Positive Request

The domain acortaurL.com is a legitimate URL shortening service that has been operating for several years.

This domain does not host malware, phishing pages, or malicious content. Its only purpose is to generate shortened URLs that redirect users to third-party destinations explicitly chosen by the user.

Due to the nature of URL shorteners, it is possible that, in the past, a specific shortened URL may have been abused by a third party to point to a malicious external website. When such abuse is detected, affected links are disabled or removed, and preventive measures are applied to avoid recurrence.

The main domain itself:

Does not collect credentials

Does not imitate brands or login pages

Does not perform automatic or hidden redirects

Does not host executable files or scripts intended to harm users

Security and abuse-prevention measures in place include:

HTTPS enforcement

Rate limiting and request monitoring

Manual and automated abuse review

Immediate removal of reported malicious links

The current classification appears to be a false positive based on historical or third-party misuse, not on the content or behavior of the domain itself.

We kindly request a reclassification of this domain to an appropriate category such as:
Information Technology / Web Services / Business, or removal from phishing/malicious classification.

If additional information is required, we will be happy to provide it.

Thank you for your time and review.
