It seems that many users are greeted by the message displayed in the image below when trying to access links emanating from the popular URL shortener. Indeed, when I met myself the problem on Chrome in the morning, it was the turn of Bit.ly links open Firefox to be blocked and the following message: "The web page on bit.ly was reported as a malicious page and has been blocked based on your security preferences.
