Reporting a suspicious app or website is an essential step in combating cyber security risks. Whether you suspect a malicious intention or a phishing scam, taking action can help prevent further damage. Here's a simple plan to stay safe online on how to report a suspicious app or website.


Recognize and Identify the Suspicious App or Website
The first step is to identify potential threats. Look for any signs of online malpractice. Some common indicators of a suspicious app or website include:
Requesting personal info without a valid reason
Forcing you to download potentially malicious files
Displaying untrustworthy pop-ups or ads
Having an unfamiliar or unverified domain name

Send Suspicious Apps to Their Grave
If you downloaded the app from the App Store or Google Play Store, report it to the respective platform. You can do this by:
Reporting the suspicious app directly
Following the in-app instructions
Describing the issue and its implications

For Apple devices:
Tap on "Purchased" to view your downloads
Flag the suspicious app
Select "Report a Problem" to continue

For Android devices:
Select the app you want to report from your library
Flag the app as suspicious
Describe the issue and its implications

Report to the Browser
For browser-based websites, report them directly to your browser:
Access your browser's advanced security features
Follow the in-browser prompts to report the suspicious website
Describe the issue and its implications

For Google Chrome:
Access Chrome's advanced security features
Flag the suspicious website
Provide more information if required

For Mozilla Firefox:
Type "about:preferences" in the address bar
Flag the suspicious website
Report the online threat

Contact the App Developer or Website Owner
If the app or website is legitimate but you believe it's at risk, you can contact the developer or owner directly:
Find the website owner's public contact info
Send an email or message detailing the issue and providing feedback

Notify Your Antivirus
If you believe the app or website has digital threats, inform your security software:
Check your protection against online threats
Share your findings with the antivirus software
