Netgear Armor notifying that it blocked phishing attack from a file on Amazon Fire TV

I have been using Netgear Armor for about 5 months. Since last week, it started alerting me on stopping a phishing attack because of a file on Amazon FireTV (C3.SDKCLICKURL.COM). All apps on FireTV ...

Thanks Christian.

I understand how to unblock a URL. However it is not clear to me whether I should, as I do not know what is malicious about it. If it is indeed malicious, it could defeat the purpose of the alert by me unblocking it, then it defeats the purpose of me even buying the subscription.

it should only be unblocked in the Negear Armor suspicious URL definitions.

Is there a library against which I can validate if I should unblock EasySwool ?

Hi HarryGH,

This maybe something not to worry about. However, we should still be cautious. May you provide me with a sample message of the alert so we can better advise you on the situation.

Thanks!

  Hi HarryGh,
  
  May you confirm if you have a Kodi or if you only have Amazon services. If it's only Amazon services I would check in with Amazon on the URL and have it whitelisted on the app once you can confirm with Amazon.
  
  Thanks,

    I only have Amazon software.
    I am curious why would Amazon know why Netgear Armor is blocking this service.
    You own all the rules, so Netgear or Defender should be ones ensuring that your definitions are updated.
