The URL in the first use case was reported as malicious in the PhishTank (https://phishtank.org/) website.
The file hash in the second use case was taken from a malware sample on the MalwareBazaar website.
The domain name in the third use case was taken from a phishing attempt against myself earlier this year (around May 2025).
