how to remove SOURCE of Armor phishing threats blocked/detected?

I have NETGEAR Orbi Whole Home Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System (RBK852) – Router with 1 Satellite Extender.

 

I just got it about a week ago....

 

I am getting 6+ Armor Notifications per day:

"Dangerous URL blocked, Armor has blocked a phishing attempt. View Details."

"Phishing

https://myazurestage.rapidadvance.info/

Found on... -my Macbook-

 

It is great that Orbi/Armor software is blocking this threat, but my question is:

How do I find the source of the phishing attempt / threat so that I can remove it?

I have searched my email, finder and spotlight for "https://myazurestage.rapidadvance.info/", "azurestage", "rapidadvance", etc... and I cannot find anything.

 

I don't want to "whitelist" the URL, I want to find the source first.

I could also turn off notifications, but that would defeat the purpose....

 

Any suggestions?
