I know that a lot of VPN users have it as a homepage to their browser, that is why I wanted to publish this warning.

    Is it malicious code hosted on the website? Or are they saying that visiting that site is an indicator of compromise because they’ve malware commonly visiting that site?

      Looks like the domain registration expired, according to https://lookup.icann.org/en/lookup

      Fortinet marked the website as “malicious”, but it doesn’t seem to give an explanation as to why it’s been given that classification (looked up here: https://www.fortiguard.com/webfilter)

      Kasperky wanted an account (and possibly a subscription) to look up the website and I’m not going to give them any of my information so I’m not sure if they gave an explanation as to why the website is flagged.

      Visiting https://thisismyip.com/ as of now just redirects to a Namecheap landing page so I doubt there’s any actual malware on the website. I think Fortinet and Kaspersky preemptively marked it for when a malicious actor picks up the name and starts hosting actual viruses.
