Probably not. Probably someone’s fishing in your connection, nothing to do with FR.

No. It’s a false report likely from some leftie messing with web reputations.

In the good old days those of us who used computers were able to understand what was happening. You might say that the IQ of the average computer user was much higher than the general population. Fast forward several decades and the IQ of the average computer user is pretty much the same as the general population. The IQ of the average computer user has declined significantly.

There are public sites that create black lists (blocking lists) where you and I can post that liberal sites have malware. When enough people bump that same thing up high enough, that happens.

I even have blocklists for my home router where I have to whitelist some conservative sites. Why do I use them? Because the vast majority of blocked websites do have a problem.

I’m having serious issues with Cloudflare, since I use a VPN. It will not allow me on TruthSocial when I use conventional browsers. Hate it.

Malwarebytes SUCKS. It randomly decided the website for my convention is bad too. Don’t know why it’s the industry standard, everybody in IT knows it’s a POC. Uninstall it.

It’s either a conspiracy of a rumor or a rumor of a conspiracy.

No, but Malwarebytes will happily accept users' money through the link you posted. And "Wait! Before you go… Save 10% when you protect your device today."

We've not paid for ANY "protection" for decades.And, the three times my wife and one of her cousins got web-hacked, it was simple to fix. Two instances, turn off and restart, and one of "safe mode" and clear the browser various memories.

Evan a hacked FR is better than no FR.

All I can add is that I ran Malwarebytes and all is well over here.

I don’t think it is Malware on the website itself. But I have noticed there is something funny happening. But I think it is sourced from the third party hosting server.

Far too many times page changes hang, and hang, and hang... And it seems like it is downloading way too much data for what an average FR page source and content would even have... Many many times it hangs so bad I have to exit off the domain and then come back again to even get it to load.

And when I look at the request stack it is way “too busy” for what it should be for these very light and minimal pages here. It warrants some investigation into what the 3rd party is adding to the FR experience. Their filters and security may be way too overzealous and unproductive. They don’t own it, you own it. And I have had to explain this many times to my own hosting providers over the years.

There’s a few lefty apps that have us marked as potentially harmful but only because they hate us. I’ve ran into the same thing on a few of them.
