Additional false phishing reports
On January 27 at approximately 11 AM EST, the phishing warning screen was removed by Cloudflare following the Twitter post made a day prior. The post was subsequently deleted for multiple reasons.
On January 29 at 3:00 PM EST, the site was falsely reported again which led to the return of the phishing warning screen. On the morning of that day, Your World of Text was also falsely reported for phishing which still retains its phishing warning screen. It's unclear who is responsible for that report.
At the same time, a core JavaScript file of the OWOT client was reported for phishing (/static/yw/javascript/owot.js) which led to the JavaScript file being marked as a phishing page. This led to the site failing to load regardless if the user clicked "Ignore & Proceed" on the phishing warning. A workaround had to be deployed fast.
An additional Twitter post was made which directly addressed Cloudflare again. This time, it was ignored.
