  Hi there, @craigwadsworth

  Thanks for flagging this to us. Our team is going to investigate how we can address this, as it is a false positive. The URL in question is for CloudUp, which is a file-sharing service developed by us. We use it under the section ‘Can I add an image?’ to explain how markdown can be used to add an image in Simplenote.

  In the meantine, you can whitelist the URL as shown here: https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/detections/riskware
