Does this mean there could be malware on my phone?

That is a warning about an HTTP connection, because whatever server you accessed was not using HTTPS with a digital certificate.

It looks like you might have mistyped a domain going to a game-related site, and somebody was typosquatting on the domain you had mistyped.

This is not an indication of issues or hacks or malware.

It’s basically any day on the ‘net, both with typos and with typosquatting.

It's just a warning to let you know there's a possible problem with the site. It could be the SSL (secure socket layer) has expired. Or you're on an unsecured public Wi-Fi.

Treat any site that causes this warning to appear as suspicious.

something to do with geoguessr is what you’re probably thinking but i didn’t try to go to that site or any game site that i can remember, i clear my safari data often so it was within the past like 4 days

There is a game site very close to that domain.

But however you got that whether an ad or a typo or a cat wandering on the keyboard, it is not an indication of an issue on your iPhone.

Clearing your Safari data often is your choice, but can make debugging harder.

As for what I’m probably thinking here, I try not to. Thinking gets me in trouble.

It could have came from a Google Search result, website redirect, or even from an ad in a game you are playing. The good news is the page will not open, unless you specifically grant access with that warning in your browser window. In any case, the page is still logged in your History, whether it was actually opened or not. It certainly does not mean your phone has malware and there was no harm done.

I went to that same website and got the warning that it is not secure. Even though I did not grant access to continue using the unsecured site, it still logged it in my history. The warning you see on these unsecured website is just so you do not give them any personal information that could be compromised, it does not mean that the website is installing some nefarious software.

You’re concerned about something you don’t understand.

That’s a reasonable concern, and is common among some people.

But what are you going to do about your concerns here?

You can invest some time learning more about he operations and risks, or you can work to mitigate the concerns such as by not having any sensitive data for instance, or can remove the concern such as by replacing the iPhone with a feature phone, or you can choose to operate in fear as some do.

Among other choices.

Whether this was a typo or an ad or something else, it’s a warning about the web connection itself — HTTP versus HTTPS — and nothing more. That HTTP connection can be vulnerable to eavesdropping, or the website being accessed can potentially be spoofed.

Is even a spoofed website a concern? Maybe. Depends on what info you were seeking from the website, and what info your unencrypted and unauthenticated HTTP connection activity might be exposing.

Pragmatically, the modern IT definition of the words “virus” and “hack” has arguably become “something has happened that I don’t understand”.

PS: Something akin to “huh, that looks funny” has led to more than a few scientific discoveries. For some “huh, that looks funny” from classic computer security history, read the book The Cuckoo’s Egg by Cliff Stoll.

MrHoffman may not have wanted to draw attention to his User Tip, so I will: Virus Warning! What to do! - Apple Community

Or as I think of it, "Viruses Trojans and Worms, oh my!"

No need to worry. Forget about it and get on with your life.
