Hi speacetime07,

Well we will find it here - https://www.shodan.io/host/86.107.32.86  (your IP and your website hoster)
Server: BitNinja Captcha Server  (and that comes under constant attack)
It should cover and protect you against attacks, so is actually a good thing.

Read also here: https://www.invicti.com/web-vulnerability-scanner/vulnerabilities/bitninja-captcha-server-identified/
(server info proliferation - good you could not find it).

But  again there is no direct impact arising from this issue.

Just added this to be complete in my information on your website's security situation and that at the hosting server
(but be aware of web technologies used there, as we have touched that already Word Press, PHP, My SQL).

Hope you will soon learn from avast about the present final detection position of your website.

Also report here: https://sitereport.netcraft.com/?url=https://www.turchini.it  (could report a mistake)

Thank you. Avast said that was a false positive so the website is again live without any advise.
Thank you all.

Hi spacetime07 and DavidR,

What about this outgoing link, flagged as with PHISHING:
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/fae7d3021f142bcc20d0ef6fe209920ff6f9ac9b36586ecb7d65f54ab2f75f33/details

also see: https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/https/forms.gle/YCMeyXwf63pY9aMa8

and then see: https://www.abuseipdb.com/whois/199.36.158.100

So we are not completely out of the woods with this one, or arrived there once again (scam and phising abuse).

But wait, here it gets the all green and a full 100%: https://www.scam-detector.com/validator/forms-gle-review/
But as they say there it is the web admin's duty to read the signs there  ;)

P.S. This has turned into quite some interesting thread (i.m.h.o.), as it has gone over all sort of aspects of the Word Press CMS security features, to arrive at the conclusion, that without constant maintanance and updating no website will stay completely secure, and that's for sure.
