Phishing Alert on Image Host

Probably just temporary due to an end of year expiry, but Malwarebytes is registering us.v-cdn.net (104.18.226.85) as a phishing threat. Is this something the Team needs to look at or is it a case of waiting for a third party to handle?

    That level of false positive usually gets resolved pretty quickly since it'd have a lot of people going "hey man WTF" at both Vanilla and Malwarebytes. Fixing it would be MWB's job, but they're usually pretty fast about that sort of thing, especially when it's a big and obvious mistake like that one.

    If you're still getting alerts, try a definition update and see if that helps - I use it myself and I haven't been getting any alerts on the forum today.

    (My personal favorite is when, now and then, a botched update classifies Steam as a phishing threat. That has to generate a spicy inbox over there.)

    (ed. Whoops, now I'm seeing it too. Same thing stands where I suspect it'll be fixed in an update soon.)

    Yeah I've had a couple of games do something like that. The only reason I figured it to be a certificate expiring is that it just happened to pop up on January 1st. Thanks.
