SOS Pishing

[Manu]

Hi,

I have a big problem. Try to go on my website and you will see !!!

https://www.atherm.com/

Tks for your help.

[Manu]

My wp-config.php is in quarantaine.

[AITpro Admin]

Your site looks ok to me. Did you already fix the problem?

[Manu]

Hi,

Problem is still here.

Sorry I havent mentioned it but you have to open the website with Chrome.

Chrome is blocking the website.

Tks

Yes, I was using Chrome. I do see the google warning now.  This is a known common problem with Matomo.  See this Matomo forum topic > https://forum.matomo.org/t/chrome-displaying-red-screen-saying-deceptive-site-ahead/49178/7 If it was my site the solution I would use would be > uninstall the wp-matomo plugin.

Google Safe Browsing recently detected phishing on matomo.atherm.com. Phishing sites pretend to be other websites to trick you.

Tks for your help.

I don’t have any plugin.

But I can delete the matomo tracking code maybe ?

But no more statistics…

 

[AITpro Admin]

These are the things I would factor into my decision:

Matomo is a direct competitor to Google Analytics.
This common problem has been occurring for 3 years.
The problem may temporarily be fixed by contacting Google, but when Matomo changes anything then your site will have the google warning page again.
I use Google Analytics by logging into GA.  I personally don’t need to see analytics from my websites.

[Manu]

I was also a GA user but GA is now forbidden in Europe. That is why I have installed matomo server side (no plugin).

It looks like the problem is solved since I have delete the tracking code !

I’m going to try to change in the database all the http://matomo with https://matomo. What do you think ? Good idea ?

[AITpro Admin]

That’s great!  Yep, I would change all http url schemes to https.

[Manu]

Thanks a lot. I will do that today.

Cheers

Hi there !

I have replaced all the http://matomo.atherm.com with https://matomo.atherm.com

Then I have added the tracking code again to my website.

Immediatly the red flag has come again on chrome.

Thank you for your attention but I don’t want to waste your time. My problem is not related to your plugin at all.

Cheers

Maybe the Matomo js tracking code would work instead > https://developer.matomo.org/guides/tracking-javascript-guide If you were already using the js tracking code then you simply cannot use the matomo subdomain url anywhere on your site or google will flag it is suspicious.

[Manu]

I was using the Matomo Tag Manager.

I’m going to try the JS code instead.

I will tell you how it goes.

Tks a lot for the advice.

[Manu]

Hi,

Finally I have received an email from google telling me the website is no more red flaged.

So I have put my original code (matomo tag manager) and for 2 days everything is ok.

If I don’t have anymore redflag, the solution would have been to replace the http by https.

Tks for your time.
