I have noticed a popup from my Malwarebytes early this morning saying ClimateJustice.Rocks is blocked due to Trojan when I have just gotten up, and that is odd since I found that is a Mastodon instance and I have not been on it at the time. Even though I have attempted to add the domain to my allow list on the possibility it might be a false positive, Malwarebytes was ignoring it and I still continued to get the same popup. So, I had ended up reporting the problem to Malwarebytes to have them investigate it, but I have not heard anything back from them.

Right now, it is making me wonder if this is going to need to be looked into here see whether or not the instance is going to need to be de-federated from mastodon.world on the grounds someone could be making posts containing links to trojan horse sites on it, and there is no admin doing anything about it.

    Well, I did contact Malwarebytes to see whether or not it is a false positive, but they have not gotten back to me like I said before.
