Firefox users are reporting a browser warning claiming the site ip.me may be a security risk, saying someone could be impersonating the site to steal credit card details, passwords or emails. Users are asking whether others are seeing the same alert, and the reports are circulating among infosec and privacy-minded communities trying to work out whether it is a false positive or a genuine impersonation threat.
Why now: Users are comparing notes on a sudden, unexplained browser security warning for a commonly used IP lookup site.
