    Launching VirusTotal Monitor, a service to mitigate false positives

    One of VirusTotal's core missions is to empower our antivirus
    partners. By building better tools to detect and study malware,
    VirusTotal gets to make a dent in the security of billions of users.

    Sounds about right. Since beginning of July have not been able
    to use the service without leaking personal info. I'd call it more
    than a mere "dent". A "hole" would be more appropriate.
    ;)

    PS Before July you could get a report with https://www.virustotal.com/latest-report.html?resource=X
    or
    https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/Y/analysis/

    Where X = SHA1 and Y = SHA256

    Both now give a 404.
