I haven't been able to access www.swedbank.se all day if I don't change the DNS server. Swedbank's site is apparently blocked for phishing. This is NOT a phishing site, but one of the largest banks in Sweden. I didn't click on a suspicious link in an e-mail or anything like that. It is Swedbank's own very much official site.
I am wondering if there is something wrong with my computer or if this site is actually blocked for phishing by OpenDNS.
www.swedbank.com works, but if you click on the Swedish flag it takes you to the .se-site that does not work.
For those from other countries that don't know what Swedbank is I'm sure you can find plenty of online sources confirming that it's a real bank. You can start with the English Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedbank
I just want someone to confirm that OpenDNS is actually blocking swedbank.se so it's not just me. Thank you in advance.

"I just want someone to confirm that OpenDNS is actually blocking swedbank.se so it's not just me."
Yes, confirmed, the domain www.swedbank.se is blocked as phishing by OpenDNS.
nslookup www.swedbank.se.
Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.2.11
Nicht autorisierte Antwort:
Name: www.swedbank.se
Address: 67.215.65.133
This returned 67.215.65.133 is hit-phish.opendns.com.
No idea why it came to this, because it was rejected as phish at PhishTank:

You may want to open a support ticket to get this corrected.

It seems PhishTank user perf doesn't like this bank...

Thank you. I already clicked on the link "Think this site is not phishing? Tell us why and we'll review." I'm sure lots of other Swedes will/have done the same.

The user who submitted the website had nothing to do with the overall listing. PhishTank works on a weighted voting system, so a user like perf who has never been seen before has no weight and no ability to automatically list something as Phishing. They simply submit a domain, and it is up to the community to decide if the domain is phishing or not. In this case, the community voted that the initial submission by perf was not phishing, however a secondary listing (due to an HTTP redirect) was inadvertently listed as phishing. This has been corrected.
swedbank.se was blocked by OpenDNS for just under 24 hours due to multiple listings from both PhishTank and other partners.
