Cloudflare Security Scam Targeting PC Gaming Sites

A recent incident has affected users visiting Videocardz.com, a popular gaming website. When attempting to access the site, users were met with a verification message claiming that their connection required security and performance checks. This prompt supposedly required enabling JavaScript and cookies to continue.

The warning appears to be from Cloudflare, a content delivery network (CDN) provider, citing a Ray ID of 9162b79a7ff24c8c. However, this warning is not an actual security issue but rather a phishing attempt by Cloudflare to gather user information.

Users are advised to remain cautious and not engage with the prompt as it does not represent a genuine threat to their connection or device security.
