In October 2011, MailOnline and several other newspapers mistakenly published articles on Amanda Knox's trial, reporting that the appeal led to upholding the original guilty verdict, which was incorrect; the verdict was overturned. The mistakenly published article included fabricated quotes and falsely claimed she was put on suicide watch.

In June 2010, The Guardian reported that MailOnline had published an inaccurate story about an iPhone 4 recall, based on a Twitter message by a Steve Jobs impersonator.

In October 2013, The Raw Story reported the MailOnline had pulled a story about a transgender student who had been harassing female students in a school bathroom. The story has been taken up by Fox. Girls who complained about the harassment were threatened with disciplinary measures. It turned out that no students had been harassed, and only one parent was upset about the transgender student.
