We aim to review every report within one business day, and act on credible reports of phishing or malware as soon as we see them.
A link we accept as harmful is disabled immediately. It stops redirecting straight away, so anything already printed or sent goes dead rather than continuing to work.
The account that created it is suspended, and we look at everything else it has made.
If the link was used at scale we report it onward to the relevant blocklists, rather than quietly deleting it.
What you can report
Phishing, fake login pages, or anything impersonating a bank, government service or charity
Malware, unwanted software, or drive-by downloads
Links sent to you as unsolicited bulk SMS or email
Content that is illegal under Australian law
What we cannot do
We can disable an l3nk.au link, but we do not control the site it points at. To get the destination itself taken down, contact its host or registrar. For scams affecting Australians, report to Scamwatch.
Who runs this
l3nk is operated by House of Sadaqa, a registered Australian charity, on its own servers in Sydney. There is a real organisation behind this address and a person who reads it.
