@ulkoalex You can turn off the feature if you don't want pages to be blocked when they are added in those third party lists that Opera uses.

@leocg thanks, I already googled your answer but the question is how it came that Opera uses those third party lists that can just block paypal.com out of the blue?..

@ulkoalex If there are many reports, many false positives, such things can happen.

@leocg yeah, but I hoped sites like paypal should be whitelisted against false positives.. anyways, anything we can/should do here? or just wait until it's resolved?

@ulkoalex Even those sites can be victims of attackers and turn into a danger for the users.

I couldn't find a form to report a possible false positive to APWG, so I just sent a message through the Contact Us one. Let's see if that will help.
