No, you don't care. You literally just said "it's nothing to worry about." Please stop saying "I do" when you don't and "I'm not" when you are: find someone else to gaslight. What's your in-game name?

A false report from McAfee or a phishing scam can simply just be ignored. It is nothing to worry about. All a person has to do is ignore the email.

Report it to fandom if you've received phishing scam emails from there and you're positive it's from there. Nobody here can do anything about that.
You're right that that is something fandom should care for.

You know, there are ways not to see any ads whatsoever.
Just saying...

True. But those options don't correct what JimboCrow is addressing which is something only fandom can and should do something about.
Fandom is the only entity that can do anything about email addresses on Fandom getting phished.
Maybe Fandom doesn't know they've been breached.

Yes. As I've been saying for years. The wiki on fandom is flooded with ads and is almost useless. That's not a proper wiki when you can't click on anything because ads cover nearly every inch of the screen. That's shady and is a disservice to us as users.

Sounds like what McAfee is known for: False report nonsense.
Time to get a better anti-virus. Try AVG's free version.
Yes, the scam is the famous false report phishing attempt meant to fool real McAfee users. I don't use McAfee, and like you I recommend that no one else does either: it's junkware. But fandom.com needs to clean up their site or suffer the consequences. The experience has been ruined and that's why I think the wiki should be moved.
Yep yep yep. Indeed the wiki should be moved to proper wiki that is usable, professional, and not flooding it's users with ads.

Move it to where? And are you willing to do 10+ years of work twice? That's what you and JimboCrow are suggesting to do with no suggestion of where to move it to.

Everyone everywhere has the option of using a secure, ad-free browser like Brave or Opera GX (to name and link 2 of hundreds that are out there).
If you're seeing a ton of ads and getting phishing scams in the browser you're using that is because of the browser you're using.

There are zero ads seen on this game's fandom wiki using the browsers I suggested above.
Give one of them a try.
