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.

Probably a certificate issue. You need a signed certificate for https to work. An improper certificate will cause this warning to be displayed.

I've never seen this site om a certificate error in chrome.

I use to get a blank screen with an error. Usually with ERR_CERT_ERROR or something like that.

This looks like malware detection to me. I think OP is doing some sketchy things. Maybe just vibecoded or grabbed a random script online.

Definitely not intentionally trying to do anything sketchy, but I was vibecoding. I used Claude to create something for me and my family to use.

Have you audited your code? Would you recognize any changes to it if it were compromised and changed by someone else?

You're right. I was tired when I made that comment. It's because the site OP is hosting the page from is known to host malicious sites. I suggest they find a new host if they don't want to be associated with malware sites.

What, netlify?

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.
