When Facebook users bang on a connection that points to an external website, they’re offered with a warning that reads, “This connection might be malicious. please follow it with care.” It turns out that the identical security alert is shown even if the location you are about to visit is facebook.com.
As other ones have sharp out, the warning note seems for all URLs, even ones that issue to sites that don’t exist. although, it’s worth noting that some domains, such as facebook2.com, which the company doesn’t own, are blocked absolutely (see screenshot) to protect users against phishing attacks. This means that the business is ascertaining the domain title of the website that’s about to be navigated to.
This is why the detail that facebook.com is flagged as a potentially malicious website is even more intriguing.
