Bitdefender keeps blocking static.imghst-de.com
Dos anyone know what this is or why Chrome is trying to connect to it? I don't seem to be able to find much about it anywhere.
"Online Threat Prevention - chome.exe attempted to establish a connection relying on an expired certificate to static.imghst-de.com. We blocked the connection to keep your data safe since websites must renew their certificates with a certification authority to stay current, and outdated security certificates represent a risk."

These constant suspicious connections that Bitdefender keeps blocking static.imghst-de.com are really getting annoying and old! No response from Google Chrome with respect to who are these folks! Or what is triggering this connection! How do I stop this? My only choose is to "Add to exceptions" but why would I do that ? I have no idea who they are! Chrome will not respond. How in the world is anyone suppose to get help with this crap!

Same issue, I'm glad it's blocking it, but I would like more information. It's happening even when my system is idle. I suspect it's Facebook because I use my PC for two things: Gaming and work. My wife uses it for Facebook. It's the only thing that could possibly have malicious content.

Edit: I think I figured it out. I had Telegraph open, and as soon as I closed it in my taskbar, the notifications stopped.

Same. Bit Defender needs to identify the originating extension.

I also keep getting this for months, static.imghst-de.com\n... I suspect it may be Ads Killer (Chrome Extension) but am not sure. ... Will keep testing.

Same problem here. Been happening for a couple of days and cannot get rid of it other than to stop using Chrome.
