I'm wondering if this is an elaborate hoax. My malware alerts went nuts as I explored the web site (birdflusummit.com).

I'm wondering if this is an elaborate hoax. My malware alerts went nuts as I explored the web site (birdflusummit.com). No speakers are listed even though the alleged conference is happening in October and a very complete agenda/timeline is laid out on the home landing page. No sponsors or exhibitors are listed either.
I googled the phone #, 703-466-0011, and the search yielded a number of conference web sites and domain names that also triggered my malware alerts. I called it and got a voicemail: "Thank you for calling SyllabusX. If you know your party's extension, you may dial it at any time. For delegate registration or sponsorship opportunities, please dial 1. For speakers relations, please dial 2."
That said, this sort of summit/run-up/rehearsal event did indeed happen right before covid, and certainly our food supply is being attacked badly in the name of bird flu. Kinda scratching my head ...
Thank you for all the wonderful work you do, Dr. Brown.
