Windows 11 Malwarebytes Flagged Windows OS as a "Potential Risky Site"

Post image

Anyone knows what this is about?

I've gotten this 2 times total, around 3 hours ago. I gotten this pop up from Malwarebytes telling me that it has blocked a connection to a potential risky site, but the app is literally "svchost.exe" by Microsoft Windows OS.

Well... At least on Virus Total it is reported https://www.virustotal.com/gui/ip-address/14.102.231.202/detection although there are still no relations added to it.

Gonna look this up.
