    Hello Faisal,

    there are other posts in the Community about sudden and somewhat implausible Phishing & Fraud and Spyware categorizations. Might be miscategorizations.
    Apart from working around by temporarily exempting these sites you can submit the URLs or create a ticket using the Contact Form.

    Hi  

    Please do share the details of the several websites that are being blocked so that we can have it reviewed. What you have mentioned is similar to Sophos Central blocking https://login.microsoftonline.com' due to category 'Spyware' that was reported earlier and it is now resolved.

    We are seeing the same thing out of the blue. The following domains are showing up as blocked. They all appear to be ad-serving domains, so I don't know that it's a bad thing, but it just started and we're seeing lots of them:

     

    *.btrll.com

    *.adsrvr.org
