Accessing your account and following the prompts
Selecting the "Report a Problem" option
Reporting the online threat

For Apple devices:
Access Apple's security features
Flag the suspicious app
Tap on "Report a Problem" again to confirm

For Android devices:
Open the Google Play Store on your device
Report the online threat
Flag the app

Complain About Malicious Content
For browser-based websites, report them directly to your browser:
