Phishing Attack?

I keep getting this message, should I be worried?

It started while I was working and checking hospital websites. I have checked svchost.exe with VirusTotal which came up negative.

It may be worth keeping an ye there in case there is more info.

Got the same thing, 2 in a row back to back..... about 2 hours ago. First time and none since.

So is MBM catching something on the forums, perhaps an ad?

Don't know. It's an outbound request. MS Azure.

I got the same warning when I booted a short time ago. I had Edge open to National Hurricane Center and that was all. I did a restart and it has stopped. The address was 40.90.23.154.

Is it less of a concern if its outgoing than incoming?

"There was a recent false positive for svchost and certain Microsoft sites" as per the Malwarebytes forum.

Thanks for the confirmation Digmor Crusher.
