In the Alibaba Cloud Security Control console, you can view records of harmful Internet information that the source IP addresses brought to the target ECS instances in your account.

Background information

From the records of harmful Internet information, you can view domain names or URLs with harmful information, penalty actions, penalty reasons, and penalty time. If you confirm that the harmful information from the domain names or URLs has been cleared or does not exist, you can apply for access to be enabled.
Note If the penalty records have been issued by regulators, you cannot apply for access to be enabled.

In addition, to protect your website domain name from harmful information seeded by attackers, we strongly recommend that you use Web Application Firewall to protect your website.
