Hello,

For weeks I have been getting unsolicited emails containing links to the site https://storage.googleapis.com/wadrari/ which contains various Phishing pages. I have reported them using the Suspicious Site Reporter plug-in in Chrome, which results in them getting black-listed (.html pages within that space). Yet, this account space remains unscathed.

How is one supposed to report abuse involving storage.googleapis.com?

Regards,

Lar Ting You

Similar issues seemed to have been reported in the past. One of those was reported on this community thread[1]. It is recommended to complete the form in this link[2] to report abuse of specific GCP Services. The appropriate GCP team would handle the report.

Hi Paz,

If you have reported it in this form [1], the appropriate team will investigate this and take the proper measures.

Is this still true? I am using that form a lot (it's a black hole for me, no followup, no confirmation the form was received) and the spamvertisements continue.

Spammers are currently using the storage links as redirectors (not actually hosting stuff) so maybe they're exploiting a loophole in the abuse rules? Here is a big offender ("checkthisbuckets"):

https://storage.googleapis.com/checkthisbuckets/dsdgrf%20vder%20rbvc.html#1943632Bw3003266My568015912sq13215tn24Mpr98086Zd

If you link to https://storage.googleapis.com/checkthisbuckets/dsdgrf%20vder%20rbvc.html (without the code) it will redirect to a harmless .org site.

Other popular offenders:

FYI SpamCop.net automatically reports spamvertised links such as the above as abuse to "ab...@google.com" but I suspect that account gets too much mail for humans.

Hello,

You are right, the same form constitutes still the proper way to report such issue. You should not lose confidence, but use it.
