Hot Take Fake Webroot Website

[Divine_Barakah]

I was looking for Webroot Release notes and I stumbled upon this fake website

http:// webboot . org/release-notes.html

It was detected by Webroot's Active Shield extension and on Virustotal it is only detected by Webroot.

The funny thing is the links in the website takes you to official Webroot store.

I have never purchased a security product from the official website. I am always looking for deals elsewhere.

I only trust Amazon,G2A and Kinguin for keys online. Official AV websites are mostly pricier than those sources.

Nothing suspicious, yet . Aging the domain?

Its not even the correct name though things like that can go unnoticed esp if in a hurry.

I did not notice it! It was late at night after a busy day at the workshop.
Thanks for pointing it out
