This company posted an ad last week which, after clicking on the website, I was taken to a **Edited for Community Guidelines** site which I believe negatively influenced my computer, or at the very least, my Upwork communication. I flagged it to Upwork and today I see a new ad from the same company.
I would suggest to please beware of this company / website, becuase many more freelancers will go to their site and potentially impact their computers. Or, if nothing else, the client needs to know that their website has been hacked; I’ve upgraded my computer security becuase of all this, and their site now shows ‘a threat has been found’.
**Edited for Community Guidelines**
Solved! Go to Solution.

But you understand that if another website has problems, that has nothing to do with Upwork, right?

Their website is absolutely fine, no sign of porn or anything of the sort. It passed Google*s safe browsing test and there have been no reports about it.
When you say you "clicked on" the link, was there a link in the job post? There is certainly no link on the new job post!

Hi Petra, I was just wondering if you had a chance to look into this situation - thanks....

Hi Petra, I visited the site and clicked on the 'about us' which went strait to pornography. When I saw the post again today (after safeguarding my computer) I did the same thing and got an instant notification of the 'threat'
