OpenPhish Feed False Positives 10/07/17 Around 04:00 EDT

We have a URL EDL setup using the OpenPhish miner that comes with Minemeld (openphish.feed miner) that a deny rule is matching against. We have never had any issues with it blocking legitimate URL's but a few days ago the deny rule that matches against the OpenPhish EDL started blocking legitimate sites such as www.youtube.com, www.dell.com, www.oxford.com and many more. This started occurring after our FW refreshed the EDL at 04:00 EDT on 10/07/2017. The EDL then did it's next scheduled refresh at 05:00 EDT on 10/07/2017 and the legitimate URL's that were getting blocked were being allowed through.

Unfortunately it looks like I can only search back to late in the day on 10/08 in the node logs so I can't see what URL's were added prior to the 04:00 refresh on 10/07. Im curious if anyone else on here who happens to use the openphish.feed miner experienced the same?

Do you have a logstash sending the indicator additions and removals over to your siem?

I do not, no. I use the autofocus hosted minemeld so it's not really something we ever considered doing.
