Subject: Re: [WebAIM] Dangerous Web Page Blocked - WebAIM.org

I can assure you that there is not any danger in viewing WebAIM.org content.

The alert is present due to the fact that wave.webaim.org presents 3rd party
content of the page being evaluated. Even though this is the entire point of
WAVE, Norton's automated scans flag this as a phishing scheme.
Every few months Norton freaks out about this, I send them a request to
review and change it, they acknowledge that they screwed up and remove the
warning, then it shows up again a few months later. This has been happening
for years. I'd primarily suggest not using Norton, but otherwise you can
simply ignore the warning and "Continue to the site".

Thanks,
