@grincouncil I went to buy a swag to support GRIN devs and the link takes me here... Does that look right? Please advise. If it is linking to a Phishing site please fix this. Love your work BTW

Not sure what to make of this, could be that is the user's own filtering software that is acting up. If we find evidence of anything phishing related, we should remove the links.

just saw this, have not heard any other reports of this, it must be an ISP specific thing. we've yet to rip anyone off, share anyone's information, or trick anybody in any way, so all I can think of is the ISP has an anti-crypto list of some sort? I've tested it on at least three ISPs and it doesn't pop up for me.

thank you for tagging me going to tweet about it to see if anybody else has come across anything like it

the website is also not secured by https right now

I don't know why this randomly popped up and then disappeared. It is not currently flagged on any sites when I looked it up. My only guess is that accepting or mentioning cryptocurrencies automatically flagged it? I am sure nobody reported the site individually, as we have sent everybody everything they ever ordered and have had no complaints. I've also checked all the wordpress files and it does not look like anybody has compromised the site and uploaded anything nefarious. I think this was a fluke and can be marked as closed unless anyone has other concerns. have not done a transparency report in a while which is crappy but will by end of November when grinoire ships. have not made enough money to exit scam!

It seems to be a case of FortiGuard Web Filter having TMGOX as a false positive. This wouldn't be the first time this happens.

FortiGuard seems to be used for computers in workplaces and universities as far as I can tell from quick Google searches. In any case, it seems like TMGOX is no longer flagged.
