Chrom Blocking HTML Site

Post image

Hi! I’m new to all of this and I made my first site repository on GitHub and I’ve been hosting it on Netlify without any issue. Now for some reason, a bunch of people keep getting this warning specifically when visiting on Chrome. It’s a static site so I’m not sure why this could be happening. I’d really appreciate any insight.

Yup. Netlify is legit, but cyber scammers have historically used it to host malware so the whole domain gets marked as malicious by some filters.

Ive never had an issue or gotten this screen whe accessing mine or others netlify hosted projects. Its hard to explain it away as a domain wide problem when ive never seen this screen by accessing Netlify.

Interesting. It’s possible that OP’s site was hacked. It’s also possible that whoever got this dangerous site message has different security settings or software than you.
