Hi DarkXess!
There are no /cast/ directories in the Jetpack plugin. You can verify here:
https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/tree/master/images
I suspect your site may have been hacked. I’d recommend following this guide to get your site cleaned up:
https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked
How can it be hacked? the whole site has NO problem at all, only 1 complaint to our host about ONE —> 1 link and its to ONE image which is some kind of advert or whatever (phishing image/link) but its not hack! if it were a hack then why has nothing else happened? I am sure if anyone was able to hack our site then a lot more would have happened by now. I have been running websites for over 15 years now and its def not a hack.
Call it whatever you wish, but Jetpack doesn’t include a /cast/ directory in that image folder. If you see a directory there that neither Jetpack or yourself put there, your site has been found to be sending phishing attempts that you aren’t aware of, your host has contacted you about this phishing, and Google has blacklisted your site, then I would suggest that you should visit this site:

Why do you keep pushing stupid crap links to me and not admitting anything? Why has none of the other 12 plugins I have done the same thing? why is it I was sent numerous links about your plugin doing the same thing in the past and also being accused of stealing people’s information? your just trying to point the blame at me or a hack but the evidence points at your plugin!
Edit: its funny how you put my question/thread into another category to hide the fact that your plugin is doing wrong and you didn’t want others to know about it!
AND STOP putting it as resolved when it is NOT!

@darkxess: Sorry about the trouble, but let’s see if we can help to clear things up. As Lisa mentioned, Jetpack does not include a /cast/ directory or the image that your host provided. So, something else must have created that folder and added that image to it. That’s why Lisa pointed out the link about a hacked site, as that could likely be the culprit here.
Could you ask your host for more information about the image? They might be able to take a look at their server logs, and determine when and how it was added. Also, could you let us know how you installed Jetpack?
Just let us know about the above, and we can go from there.
I already had a lengthy discussion with them about it after they finally reactivated our site after the Phishing report, they gave me exactly what I included in the post above with the image attachment too. I did a check myself of the site many numerous ways included what was linked by Lisa above well before she told me too as I was not sure what did it. Then the host came out with a plugin (sole plugin – no others) was the culprit, and it was your plugin they said and pointed the link/image towards.
