Description

Just now I updated the official website of Atrium Health Navicent Peach.
The lapsed domain had been purchased by a malicious actor that made my security software start flashing.
Why was this not flagged by some bot?

Hi, I guess someone needs to write some bot on English Wikipedia, and if there is one then this is a question for the bot owners, or for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical) :) I don't see a security issue here, as this is about external content on URLs linked from wiki content pages.
