CANON - why not disclose what is going on? It is not "maintenance"

[lvjonj]

I need a driver.  I get it, your sites were taken over by ransomwear - WHY NOT DISCLOSE THIS, instead of "maintence" and make us all wait?

I need the install drivers for a printer. Two days now - I guess I have to go buy another printer, as this one is useless without the drivers 😞

I see someone in the other discussion mentioned drivers can be downloaded from:
https://ij.start.canon

Is this safe?  The bad people have not put anything on this site?  It is OK to download from it?

Chrome is giving a warning that this is NOT A SAFE DOWNLOAD. I don't care thou - I am a rebel. 
What did I just do!?!
