Twitter Being Blocked by Norton DNS

Hello

 

Last week I switched from ClearCloud DNS to Norton DNS and so far it's not looking good...

 

Parts of twitter are being blocked. I noticed yesterday I couldn't search or view messages and many profile images are not being displayed. Wasn't seeing any error page.

 

I decided to try and bring up one of the blocked avatars directly and got a "Malicious Web Site Blocked" page. Here's the link to the profile image:

When you click for a detailed report it appears that ONE image on twitter has been reported as suspicious so the whole of a3.twimg.com has been blocked!

 

Here's the detailed report:

There's another thread about this here but it doesn't seem to have been taken seriously:

Norton false positive for a malicious site ?

 

Hope someone can fix this and put measures in place to prevent the entire site being blocked in future.

 

Thanks

I had the same problem

Hello Twitter users

 

This may be happening because Twitter recently changed their program and maybe Norton hasn't caught up to the changes. I don't use Twitter, but I think they have had some changes which were recently completed. Thanks.

Hi checo,

 

Have you tried to add the twitter website to the allowed (white) list to see if it helps?

 

 

Thanks,

Katie
