False positive: aliexpress.ru.com flagged as Botnet C&C / Malware

[aphrodite]

Hello,

My domain aliexpress[.]ru[.]com is currently being flagged as “Botnet C&C / Malware” by some reputation and security services, including Kaspersky, and I would like to request a review as the issue has already been resolved.

The domain is owned and managed by us. It is a WordPress-based website. 
In the past, the site was temporarily compromised and unintentionally contained malicious scripts and outbound connections, which may have led to the current detection.

After identifying the issue, we have taken the following actions:

- Removed all malicious scripts, links, and injected code
- Eliminated all botnet-related and unauthorized outbound connections
- Cleaned both website files and the database
- Reset all credentials and secured the hosting environment
- Updated WordPress core, themes, and plugins
- Implemented additional security hardening and continuous monitoring

Current verification results:
- No malware hosted or distributed
- No malicious redirects
- No outbound connections to known malicious or suspicious domains
- Only standard WordPress assets (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images)

The website is now fully clean and operational, and we are confident that it no longer poses any security risk.

We kindly ask the Kaspersky team to re-evaluate aliexpress.ru.com and remove the Botnet C&C / Malware classification if possible, as this false positive is negatively affecting our reputation and users’ trust.

Please let us know if any additional information or verification is required.

Thank you for your time and assistance.
