Is awin1.com a malware

When trying to open some links on Safari on my iPhone I get a message saying Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid. It shows awin1.com. Very frustrating. Is it a malware?

iPhone 6, iOS 12

That seems to be the website associated with one of many entities that seek to track users’ web activities. Which probably means either the website is down, or the tracking website is down. Given the error, somebody probably messed up in an embedded script somewhere, a d that script is now getting loaded at various websites. As a guess.


Clear your saved browser data, and see if that resolves the error.


Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data
