Why is infosecinstitute.com blocked?

infosecinstitute.com: Linksearch en (insource) - meta - de - fr - simple - wikt:en - wikt:frSpamcheckMER-C X-wikigs • Reports: Links on en - COIBot - COIBot-Local • Discussions: tracked - advanced - RSN • COIBot-Link, Local, & XWiki Reports - Wikipedia: en - fr - de • Google: searchmeta • Domain: domaintoolsAboutUs.com

I have no involvement in this website, but wanted to use a page of theirs (can't link it here either...) as a reference about white-box penetration testing (White-box_testing#Hacking). Link with space in the middle: https://www.infosec institute.com/resources/penetration-testing/what-are-black-box-grey-box-and-white-box-penetration-testing/

Using WikiBlame, I found that it was added by User:Hu12 in 2008. The website looked a bit different back then (link with space again: https://web.archive.org/web/20081220105151/http://www.info secinstitute.com/ ) but seems fundamentally similar.

For the page I will simply look for a different reference, but don't understand why this was blocked. It does not look like a spam site and the company has a Wikipedia page without mention of any controversy. Should they be unblocked?

 Defer to Whitelist You can use the search near the top of the page to see the previous discussions. We don't blacklist links due to the sort of "controversey" that might be mentioned in an article; we blacklist sites if they have been spammed abusively, or sites that that may be added in good faith but have no encyclopedic merit.OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:42, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Remove suecalandia.com

Request to Remove suecalandia.com from Local Blacklist for Use in References

I am writing to request the removal of the suecalandia.com= from Wikipedia's local spam blacklist. This link is intended to be used as a reference in the article about the Suecalandia - Jogos Online de Cartas e Tabuleiro article in PT.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Fegfpdj (talkcontribs)

 Not done. This domain is blocked on the local blacklist of the Portuguese Wikipedia. It does not impact editing here on the English Wikipedia. If you're trying to create an article there, you can make a request there.Sam Kuru (talk) 14:08, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Some light but obvious socking to insert this link in various articles about bikes in general. Might be useful to nip it in the bud. 81.2.123.64 (talk) 12:13, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
