- Click on "MySQL Workbench blog" entry

Suggested fix:
Remove the link if the website no longer exists or fix the SSL issue

Hi Mr. Rabih,

The above site has nothing to do with our Workbench.

It is not our site.

Most likely, this is some malicious WWW site.

Unsupported.

This website is provided by MySQL workbench menus, so it should be removed if it is malicious

This is now a verified bug, since it has to be removed from Workbench menu.

Still exists in 8.0.40 version (Windows)

Posted by developer:

This issue applies to the legacy MySQL Workbench 8.x implementation that is no longer supported or maintained.
MySQL Workbench 26.7 is a complete rewrite using a new technology stack and does not use the affected legacy implementation.
Therefore, this issue is not applicable to the current MySQL Workbench product and as such is closed.
