Same thing happening to me.  Any idea why? 

Still happens once in awhile. Nothing from ATT. Phone has been scanned too. It is nothing that I am doing.

Are you playing a phone game that displays ads?  Sometimes these ads do things that they shouldn't.

I have the same Issue and am still confused.

My original post stated that it happens randomly. That's why I posted the screen shot. This has happened while the phone is just setting there and not during a game.

One of your apps is triggering it, probably one that is active while closed.  Start removing ones that you think my be suspicious.

Hey AT&T, how about a way to handle these alerts. I trust the app did its job and I’m ok with quarantining or blocking this site but you only give the options to close the alert or proceed anyways. I don’t want to proceed with the site so I close the alert but it just keeps coming back. How do we make it stop? Seems this process was not thought out to completion. Thanks
