Phishing attempt cdn.krxd.net

Hello there.

Yesterday while on my computer and browsing YouTube and Soundcloud, a notification from BitDefender appeared in the lower-right corner of my screen, informing me that a web threat was blocked. Apparently the culprit is the link displayed on the screenshot I attached. Naturally I searched around and there are some threads on the Internet talking about it. Some say it is a virus, others say it is an issue pertaining to cookies. The notification appeared just once, I've ran multiple scans ever since but nothing has been found as yet. And what's more, I haven't downloaded anything recently, just joined a Discord server an hour or two before I received the notification (and which I decided to leave right after that).

I can't seem to find a way to retrieve logs/reports from the version I'm using (Bitdefender Antivirus Free 1.0.8.29), so the only thing I know of is this .html stuff.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi Danielst! I just sent the URL to you guys.

Thanks.

So huh quick question.

How will I know if the link I sent is some kind of false positive or the real thing? Because I don't know if I should format my hard drive or something, depending on what you guys find.

Hi Lithium,

The URL you submitted should no longer be detected by Bitdefender. We have removed the detection so it is definitely not necessary to format the hard drive.

Thank you,
