How To Report Bad Websites

Hello, does anyone know of places where you can report bad websites in order to hopefully have them shut down or at least made so that less people will be able to visit them?

Please let me know of any services like this that you are aware of. I figure the more services you can report a site to the better the chances are of something actually being done about it.

Thanks.

 

Good topic.
Here's one site...
Google Safe Browsing: Report a Malware Page

 

http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx

https://www.us-cert.gov/nav/report_phishing.html

 

Phishing: https://www.phishtank.com/

A fast way to protect a large quantity of people ( IE7/8/9/10 & Windows 8 ) is to report a URL to Microsoft SmartScreen:

Also, make sure to use Page42's link to cover all Chrome & Firefox users.

 

Do you know what happens when a site is submitted here? Is it just removed from their searches or is more done to shut down the site?

So if I already reported the site to the top link in this quote then why also report it to us-cert? Is the information not shared?

Thanks.

 

Looks to me like it is not Google itself that you are submitting to, but a site called StopBadware. You can get there via the link I posted above (there's another link on the page it resolves to, click on it), or go here.
StopBadware has a forum called BadwareBusters.org.
Google and mozilla are listed as BadwareBuster partners.
Lotsa info to read up on.

 

Okay, so as of this moment I'm aware of how to report bad websites to:

report dangerous sites to Badware Busters (Same as reporting site to Google Safe Browsing only with more options)
report illegal activity to the FBI/NW3C Internet Crime Complaint Center
report phishing sites to US-CERT
register to report phishing sites to PhishTank
report dangerous sites, for Microsoft through IE8, by following the instructions on this page
Report phishing sites to Netcraft by using the form on this page

Does anyone know of any other useful places to submit dangerous sites? Also, does anyone know the best places to submit a site in order to hopefully have it taken down as quickly as possible?

Thanks.

 

Thank you for the help. I've now created a new article called How to Report Dangerous Websites.

The new topic for discussing the article can be found here.

Thanks.
