malware has been flagged on xfinity.com

For the last 2 weeks, my Avast one software - which is registered- has been flagging a lionfish malware fault on xfinity.com / auth.  It could be a valid script that is fooling the software, though.

In addition I have been getting numerous page unavailable messages on that same page.  Cache clearing is not effective in resolving this. I am on a Win11 Home machine using the latest version of Chrome

Thank you

I got a similar (same?) report from AVG AV 2 days ago while logging in to www.xfinity.com:

Threat blocked
We've safely aborted connection on lionfish-app-u7ksx.ondigitalocean.app
because it was infected with Other:Malware-gen [Trj]. Aug 22, 2024 11:15PM

I didn't even know there was such a team.  Seems like this is as good a time as any to bring the existance of this team forward.

@Again​ This is not really a case of abuse. I suspect a malformed script that is acting like Malware, hence the warning from Avast.  There is nowhere in the community to report this.
