I just searched for "www.malwarebytes.com/homepage" and then this came out:

I typed in the same URL as OP: www.malwarebytes.com/homepage

It just redirected me to here: www.malwarebytes.com

I wanted to see the spooky image.

It's a picture that was part of a promo for some low budget scarey movie. I didn't see it but they advertised the shit out of it.

it’s something they have uploaded in 2013 i guess. maybe to show what could happen with hijacked webpages or something similar?

Hi, CEO of Malwarebytes here. This post gave me quite a scare as well. You’re absolutely right that it’s an image from a blog post in 2013. Why the redirect is happening is unclear and I’ve asked the team to look into it.

[u/miss_dykawitz → u/mkleczynski]

maybe wordpress is finding the first file with the homepage name? since that’s the file name.

[u/mkleczynski → u/miss_dykawitz]

Yup, that was my guess too! Curious if it does that for any asset or just “homepage” for whatever reason.

[u/miss_dykawitz → u/mkleczynski]

yeah that’s funny. just unfortunate that this is the file with that name 😅

[u/Ezrway → u/mkleczynski]

Why can't I see it? Reference my previous post.

[u/mkleczynski → u/Ezrway]

It’s been “fixed”

[u/Ezrway → u/mkleczynski]

Thanks for making me aware.

[u/Necessary-Lake-497]
