For some reason, whenever I try to access my friend's profile, it redirects to a supposedly phishing site which prompts security error.

Is it just me?

Do you see ads on MAL? Then it could be a problematic ad on this profile which redirects you. In that case you can report it in this thread so it can be removed.

@Viz: Now that I saw your screenshot in the other thread I know what's wrong. This is a warning from the Chrome browser about possible malicious content. I couldn't see it because my Firefox didn't show me this warning (Chrome is more sensitive about these things).

You can get this warning if you try to go to a website that Chrome thinks is malicious. In this case it happened because an image hosted on such a website was embedded on this user profile. I removed the image, so now you should be able to see the profile without problems. If there's still an issue please let me know!
