Malewarebytes blocks the CDN used by ZOS for serving images, identifying it as Phishing.
Someone at ZOS should reach out to MB about this presumably false detection.

RandomSilliness✭✭✭The MB team has claimed this is a legit block, not a false positive, and this is now affecting a large number of online forums. Seems like the block could be smarter, IMO, if the only thing being read from the CDN is images.

Did their service get hijacked somehow or something? It's just the content delivery network to show pictures & such isn't it?0 -

✭✭✭✭✭It's a shared hosting network, with a LOT of trojan pdf files in other parts of the network, according to the info I got from MB's customer support this morning.
There's a concern that some of the trojans could propagate due to the shared nature of the server. Hopefully Vanilla has effective/efficient firewalling in place....______________________________________________________

ZOS_KevinCommunity ManagerOur understanding of the current situation is that they are working with Malware Bytes on false positives that are being made. Seems like other Vanilla Forums users are being impacted as well. That is the latest update that we have at the moment. But they are working with Malware Bytes directly to resolve this issue.Edited by ZOS_Kevin on January 3, 2025 9:48PMCommunity Manager for ZeniMax Online Studio and Elder Scrolls OnlineDev Tracker | Service Alerts | ESO Twitter5

Still getting the same Phishing block when the forum tries to load any images. I've checked for MB updates and it says it is up to date."The Heritance are racists yes? Idiots. But dangerous, destabilizing racist idiots." - Razum-dar
