Website I was viewing in chrome images Blocked as "Riskware"

Hi so I was looking at these weird gun in images, and I clicked on the preview for one of the websites then my malwarebytes just instantly blocked it for "Riskware"

For some reason it cut half of if off, but let me rewrite that. I was looking at a weird gun and when I was on the preview for the website malwarebytes blocked it. Someone tell me if this is a False positive please.

Hello,

IP address is legitimately blocked due to C2 connection, there are some potentially malicious communicating files related to it.

Thank you.

So is the website malicious or do they just use a bad service or something for their IP? I didnt even click on the website I just clicked on an image on google chrome so I am kind of scared why it sent an outbound connection @JPopovic

It is not website that is blocked, it's the IP address. It means there are some potentially malicious communicating files related to this IP address, but that doesn't mean that the specific website is infected.

You can put this IP address in your exclusion list in MB if you want, on your own risk, but it need to stay blocked for now.

Thank you!
