Browser keeps warning that a website is not safe
Your browser's safety filter blocked the site because it detected something risky. Phishing, malware, or a hijacked server. First, check if the website is the one you actually meant to visit.
Modern browsers automatically check websites against security databases to protect you. When they find something risky. Like phishing code, malware, or suspicious activity. They show you a warning before letting you visit. Sometimes the warning is correct and the site is genuinely dangerous. Other times the site got hacked, was wrongly flagged, or the owner made a mistake.
- ✓Check the URL in the address bar. Make sure it's spelled correctly and matches the site you meant to visit
