I have this coming up on opening the site & then, now & then when looking through. I'm not savvy on computer stuff, but thought best to say.

Malware blocked Site URL : forum.scope.org.uk Malware URL : us.v-cdn.net Potentially malicious activity has been blocked. However, you can still safely continue to view this site while using Browser Guard.

When I look up on Browser Guard, it says… website blocked due to phishing.

    That's very odd @JessieJ. Are you using your personal PC?

    HI @JessieJ thanks for the heads up. 😊

    I believe this will be due to another site using the Vanilla platform (which hosts the Scope community) may have been used for naughty reasons, so anything using the host will now receive a warning. So it's nothing to worry about, but thanks for letting us know. We'll have a proper look into it asap.

    Hi @Holly_Scope, yes I am & I've never had this happen before. Looks like Albus has some idea on it though.

    Thank you, @Albus_Scope, that could be the answer then. At least it's blocked by MalwareBytes my end. Thought it best to flag anyway.

    Cheers both & Happy New Year!
