"Suspected harmful website" on LinkedIn

In my LinkedIn profile I usually leave some of my projects in the highlights section. Until then everything was ok but while browsing my profile today I noticed that there was something wrong with the links, apparently LinkedIn is judging all the sites I have hosted by Netlify as harmful and returning a “Malware Warning” page. Any idea how to solve this?

For example, a weather app that I have hosted at:

When clicked by LinkedIn forwards to:
https://www.linkedin.com/redir/general-malware-page?url=https%3A%2F%2Fweatherappimap.netlify.app%2F

And the same thing happens with all sites that I host through Netlify.

Hi Perry. I saw the thread in which you resolved this problem. We’re having the same issue. Our domain is: www.britishlawcentre.co.uk but it is constantly converted into a URL containing reference to malware such as: https://www.linkedin.com/r

I’m not sure what magic you did the first time, but could you please reach for your magic wand again and help us?

Thanks a lot,
Steve

Hi @SteveTerrett. I opened the link you posted and it’s loading your site just fine, it seems. Maybe your browser, browser extensions or device is infected instead?


Hi @tomrutgers.

I was using that old post merely as an example, but perhaps the problem doesn’t exist with them. I just tried to create a new post to show you how the URL becomes distorted into one referring to malware. But now we are blocked from even using our domain in a post. I get the message: Cannot display preview. You can post as is, or try another link.

I an my colleagues have tried on multiple machines, browsers and LinkedIn admin accounts. We’re stumped…

Hi @SteveTerrett,

I checked your URL here:

And see this:

This might be the cause?
