real phishing attempt?
Hello, I did access this website the past couple of days, but I ran a scan and there were no threats detected. It is a colleague's campaign website, so I would like to tell him that his website is running malware if that is the case.
Thanks in advance!

I just checked it with Chrome.
I also checked it with Virus Total, and it came up clean.
You should submit it as a False Positive, and let Bitdefender Labs sort through it. They are pretty quick at getting to those. @Flexx may also have some insights tomorrow.

Hello.
Just checked it with Mozilla Firefox:
I believe the problem is that the website does not have a valid certificate and that is the reason why Bitdefender blocks the website as phishing, it doesn't mean that the website is running malware.
Also, the website is blocked by the Online Threat Prevention module, NOT the Advanced Threat Defense module.

As per the information over the web:
The website joebelnome.com is a phishing website. It is not a legitimate website and should not be trusted.
The website is designed to look like a legitimate website, such as a bank or credit card company. It may even have a similar URL. However, the website is actually controlled by scammers who are trying to steal your personal information, such as your credit card number or login credentials.
If you see a link to joebelnome.com, do not click on it. If you have already clicked on the link and entered your personal information, contact your bank or credit card company immediately and report the fraud.
The URL of the website is not a legitimate domain name. The domain name "joebelnome.com" is not registered to a legitimate company.
The website is not using HTTPS, which is a secure protocol that encrypts data sent between your browser and the website.
The website has poor grammar and spelling errors. Legitimate websites typically have high-quality content with no errors.
The website is asking for personal information, such as your credit card number or login credentials. Legitimate websites will never ask for this information unless you initiate the request.
But as checked under below website, it seems to be safe and detection seems to false negative.

If you think the website/file is incorrectly blocked by bitdefender you can share the same with malware researchers by filling up the forum in below stated link
If website/file is indeed incorrectly blocked, detection will be removed in maximum of 72 hours and if the detection still remains after 72 hours, consider the website/ file as malicious by malware researchers and the detection will stay.
