OMG!!! I uploaded Bingsiteauth.Xml just to use bing analytics and to verify my ownership to bing.

Please unsuspend my Account,

Thanks and regards,

Why does your BingSiteAuth.xml look -nothing- like one that was actually downloaded from Bing's Webmaster Tools? It should only have a "users" block and a "user" tag with an id, and be around 85 bytes.

Yours is 15,929 bytes and has html coding, not xml coding.


Where exactly did you get this xml file from?


Edit: And with lines like these:

Code: 
<link rel="stylesheet" title="R3CSS" type="text/css" href="http://shared.live.com/~Live.SiteContent.ID/~15.3.18/~/~/~/~/css/R3WinLive1033.css"/>
<title>Welcome to Windows Live</title><

I'm supposed to believe this isn't a bad file? We've got a title tag claiming it's Windows Live, which has nothing to do with a legitimate bing site auth, and we've got a stylesheet being linked from live.com, which also has no earthly business in a bing site auth xml.


You best be explaining yourself; as the Abuse Compliance Officer I currently see no reason to unsuspend you, and every reason to keep you suspended for phishing.

Yes I agree. I didnt uploaded the same intentionally. The credit goes to my Browser and the webpage. As i attempted to download the "siteauth.xml" file, It seems the whole webpage got downloaded. I am really not sure how the same happened.

I have no intentions of phishing as you can clearly see that the page is a Saved one and it cannot get/store any user information.


In this regard, pl unsuspend my account.

Exactly what page did it download, cause that ain't the page that the BingSiteAuth.xml comes from either.

And part of Phishing involves masquerading as a legitimate entity when it isn't - so far your file is definitely qualifying as that.


I am going to ask for a second opinion however, so we'll see.

You're gunna be the first for this, so I'd take it in stride and check the files you're uploading -before- uploading them. Per admins, I've erased the two files in question - this is the only time I've ever been asked to do this, and is also the only time I'll do it on this account.

All I can say for sure is you definitely did not get that BingSiteAuth.xml file from bing - no attempt I've done gets anything resembling it from them. Go to http://www.bing.com/toolbox/webmaster/ , click either Validate Your Website or Create and Upload Sitemaps, and get the code from there to verify it. That's the legitimate source; anywhere else, and there's no telling where it came from.
