Cyble Inc., a firm marketing itself as a service to “Disrupt Cybercrime,” recently attempted to disrupt something else entirely: government accountability.
Cyble, claiming to act on behalf of Flock, filed a series of demonstrably false abuse reports with our hosting provider, Cloudflare, to scrub this site from the internet. Their strategy? Accuse us of “phishing” and “trademark infringement” to hide the information we publish.
The Evidence
Here is the text of the actual report Cyble filed against us:
Report ID: 440e11…
Logs or other evidence of abuse: The mentioned website is wrongfully using our client’s registered trademark in the fake web page. The use of the Client’s registered trademark descriptively in the reported URL in order to disguise or phish the general public has not been authorized by our client. The website publicly and deliberately releases extensive, sensitive information obtained from Flock.
Reported URLs: hxxps://haveibeenflocked[.]com/
Below are the report submitter’s details:
Submitter’s Name: Thomas Siah
Submitter’s Email Address: response@cyble.com
Throwing Mud at the Wall
Looking at the report, it is difficult to tell what the actual complaint is.
Are we infringing on a trademark?
Are we running a “fake website”?
Are we “disguising or phishing the general public”?
Or is the real issue that we are publishing public records—which they falsely claim were “obtained from Flock”—that expose the rampant abuse of Flock’s mass surveillance platform?
Cyble’s representative, Thomas, is simply making every allegation possible in the hope one will stick, regardless of the evidence. Apparently, filing false reports against critics is a winning strategy for them.

What “this information” refers to, or how showing the sources (which are available here) would help establish this is not a phishing website is anyone’s guess.
We Aren’t Going Anywhere
Ultimately, this is a minor inconvenience. It took me about an hour—after I finished playing my video game[1]—to change the code and migrate the site off Cloudflare’s infrastructure.
The suspension has been appealed, but we aren’t waiting for permission to exist.
Update: The site has been fully moved over. If we are blocked again it should be straightforward to move anywhere.
Come hang out on Discord with other people who believe in oversight, accountability, and the rule of law.
We will continue to expose Flock for what it is: a company so contemptuous of civil liberties that its CEO will paint active citizenship as terrorism, and now, apparently, cybercrime.
With the new Divinity game in the works, I decided to do a run as Gale in BG3. ↩︎
