Phishing warning - s0.wordpress.com

Hello,

MainWP tries to establish a connection to s0.wordpress.com which is then blocked by Norton. Norton reports that address as a source of phishing.

This issue is reported for all the sites I manage, but none of them are hosted on wordpress.com.

It may well be a false positive, but I wonder if anyone else has the same issue or could have some information about this problem.

Hey @Pascal258

Welcome to the MainWP community.

This indeed looks to be a false positive.

​MainWP uses Automattic’s API mShots for Child Sites screenshots: ​GitHub - Automattic/mShots: Website Thumbnail/Snapshot Service

These screenshots are then fetched from https://s0.wp.com or https://s0.wordpress.com to be displayed in Manage Sites grid view or on the Child Site Overview page.

Hello Bojan,

Thank you for your reply and the explanation.

Norton has removed the block so it is resolved.
