As of 08:30 server time today, Wednesday, September 11, the Flight Rising website is passing all security and file checks. Our engineers have attempted to recreate this flag using the reported antivirus programs (Avast and Avira) and have been unable to reproduce the reported alert. We suspect this was a false positive, triggered by an update on the anti-virus's side, that has since been patched.
Our findings and community reports are consistent with previous instances similar to today's, where an anti-virus or anti-malware program flags the site as suspect after an update on their side. If (when) this happens again going forward, we ask that players receiving these alerts also report them to your anti-virus provider so they can check their own records and updates with reproducible examples and patch any false flags. This isn't to say we don't want you reporting this to us—please continue to report these issues to us as they come up, even if they turn out to be a false positive later!
Thank you again for your reports! We will continue to monitor throughout the day, out of an abundance of caution.
