Getting a Norton threat warning while using TRW
« on: March 16, 2026, 07:40:31 PM »
Three times today, while using TRW, Norton has posted a warning that says "Threat secured.  We prevented your connection to mokeitetsu.com because it is a dangerous webpage.  Threat category:  URL:Phishing"

I am not getting that message while on any other site.  And, strangely, I do not seem to be getting it by clicking on links on TRW, so far as I can tell.   This time, I had clicked on the link John posted on "Making Easy Ditch Water" in the "Scenery Techniques" sub-forum, though.

Is that site something that TRW knows about and uses, or is one of us "hacked"?
