Stupid question incoming.

In my half sleepy state I went to do the daily wordle. But tried to go to wordle.com which redirected to a hoax/conspiracy theory page.

VirusTotal he a security vendor marking it as malware


Is there anyway to find out what actually caused the malware result? Was it just the redirect or something more malicious?

Prudent to reset device (iPhone) to factory?
 
I would think not. What model iPhone and version of iOS installed? It’s not even clear to me how you used VirusTotal on your iPhone.
 
It's hijacked, that's what happens when you miss a timely domain renewal.

What was there before? usually a new domain is created and no one will deal with the hijacker

iPhone 12
iOS 18.1.1

Virustotal just via the webpage.
