I would love to see a sample vulnerability report. Also, why is this flagged?

Thanks. I really have no idea why it was flagged ... I will try to add an anonymized report.

It looks to me like it violates the Show HN rules by being just a sign-up instead of something people can try out. https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

  It is not. Users subscribe and they receive a mail informing them that the Scan will be launched shortly. Once the scan is over the user receive the scan report on his mailbox. This is the service we provide...

    From the guidelines: "Blog posts, sign-up pages, and fundraisers can't be tried out, so they can't be Show HNs" The only way to try out your service is to hand over card details.

      Well this is a paid service... This is not a sign up page onlt. If we follow your logic any service that require card details can't be submitted to HN.

        The distinction is they aren't appropriate for "Show HN". They may be submitted as normal submissions.

I assume it got flagged because it looks scammy at best. This is a one-page site with practically no information offered about the service supposedly being provided, no information at all about the company behind it, and the signup button takes you straight to a card payment popup. Honestly, I find it difficult to believe this is a real attempt at a launch. It's quite common when someone posts something to 'Show HN' for some of the more affluent member of this community to sign up just to see if it works; perhaps the flaggers feel this website has been set up to take advantage of this.

  I assure you this is a real launch... This is indeed a one page website, but the service we provide requires only that for the moment. Once the user subscribe, he will start receiving the scan reports on his mail box...

    Try to look at it from a user's perspective: no information about product or provider, just a few words and a card payment form. Have you, or would you, ever provide your card details in such circumstances?

      I understand your concern. And clearly we should have communicated better, but having the link flagged while it is on the HN homepage for our launch seems a little bit excessive.
