ISP blocks access to Pic8 (a.pomf.cat)

Logged into ISP's page, jump through a bunch of hoops, and see they've designated every Pic8 access as malware.

Looks like I can only temporarily enable access. No option to mark as safe.. they're dead set on "this is MALWARE you idiot!"

Either something wonky happening at Pic8 or ISP has gone too woke for my business.

Update: I'm pretty ignorant of how Pic8 works. It only happens when the link redirects to a.pomf.cat. Which unfortunately is a lot of links..

I wonder if that's why sometimes my phone won't load links.

It seems random, I thought it was due too traffic or other site issues. Perhaps this is what is happening.

It's just the links that end up going to "a.pomf.cat" that are being blocked for me, there's a lot of them.

I'm getting "a.pomf.cat" links being blocked as "phishing attempt" by anti-virus.

Anything a.pomf.cat is not working for me, either on my phone or comp.

That my anti-virus also thinks it's malware/phishing would seem to indicate that somewhere, someone has put it on a list of bad URLs that are used by anti-virus and ISPs. Would tend to indicate an active attack against pic8 I think.
