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.
