I’m a bit confused on the “Threats” section, entering my member management startup https://embolt.app shows malware detected with a timestamp dating back to 2018 (we launched this year).

I checked out another startup I know of (https://highlight.io) and it listed the same results.

Maybe I’m misinterpreting what this section means?

Looking at the code [1], your site failed one of four checks [2]:

  - Google safe browsing
  - URL Haus (malware distribution)
  - Phish Tank (phishing URLs)
  - Cloudmersive (website virus check)

Happy hunting I guess? lol, put the links there for ya

Off-topic: Embolt looks interesting. I am an I.T. consultant and sysadmin for a chiropractic trade association, and have been looking for something to help manage and grow their memberships. Do you offer any evaluation plans or free tiers (or are the transaction fees the only monetization involved)?

FYI, your account creation page is pushing a special offer that expired 6/2/2024.

Oops looks like we didn’t expire our offer banner correctly — thanks for the heads up.

We definitely offer evaluation plans & free tiers, if you want to give me a shout over at grant@embolt.app; I can help set you up with an account to try us and we’ll see if we can help!
