DNSFilter users - malware block?

A couple of days ago, DNSFilter started throwing up a block page when I attempted to get to the main platform URL. Googleforedcommunity.com was categorized as a Malware site, and I had to whitelist it in order to get back in. I put in a Domain report to get this fixed. Anyone else see this? 

Apple or Adobe? Or somebody else? Couldn't be, no, not . . . .M$!

I am a little delayed responding here, but yes, our filter was also blocking this site and I had to whitelist it.

What is/was the name of your filter software?

Our Fortinet firewall was blocking it.

I reported it to Fortinet when it happened to me and they recategorized it to Education

I too had this, with our WithSecure filter.

Interesting that it had been tagged for several products.

Would be interesting to know where the domain was actually mal-categorised (pun intended)?

@Kim - it's been a long time now, but I got the sense last time I checked that several vendors were sharing one list. I think it may have been Webroot Secure Anywhere that was using Cloudflare. Or it could have been Meraki's gateway content filtering.  Would be nice to pin down the identity of the Mothership. 

Update from DNS Filter (they're usually a lot quicker on turnarounds):

Al menos con Kaspersky (de suscripción) no se reporta problema alguno.
