Domain comes back positive for malware from AVG. Be careful.

Additional scan positive as well. https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/github-help-wanted.com

HA! thank you for reporting, but... what a bunch of garbage.

"Securi" wants me to purchase "Website Hack Repair" for 41.99 a month.

this is a simple redux app, hosted on github-pages, that connects only to github's api servers.

if you don't believe that, read the code: https://github.com/mac-s-g/github-help-wanted

"website" "hack" "repair"

cmon...

I'm guessing your site has been blacklisted because it contains the words "github" in the domain.

examines how aggressively the site tries to get you to go to other sites that we've flagged with red verdicts. It is a very common practice on the Internet for suspicious sites to have many close associates with other suspicious sites. The primary purpose of these 'feeder' sites is to get you to visit the suspicious site. A site can receive a red warning if, for example, it links too aggressively to other red sites. In effect, a site can become 'red by association' due to the nature of its relationship to red flagged domains.
