Malware False Positive Attack

[Null]

Still no malware on here?

Are you joking?

MWB doesn't even have a false positive report form so I guess you're SOL.

Or I could just whitelist the site because im not a retard.

Just wanted to let you know it was happening

 

[IrishGuy088]

can't even whitelist via MBAM (premium version).

Is this still the case for you? I was able to add "www.kiwifarms.net" to MBAM's whitelist and the site immediately started working again. You may have something else gumming up the works. And at least according to the site's scripts, the miner is gone too.

But I don't know much about that.

Just found out KF is still blocked by something called WebSense for "unwanted software". As far as I know it is a proxy service used by many colleges and libraries (Don't go hard on me if I made a mistake: I'm just another woman in tech like Banana Wu.)

You'd be correct good sir.

But I'd change what you mentioned about it being used by colleges and libraries to simply businesses as a whole. (After all colleges are a business) You'd be hard pressed to find a decent sized business that doesn't have web proxies in place or some kind of layer 7 firewall that pulls in web reputation feeds for malware domain blocks.

WebSense proxies are powered by Forcepoint data. Pretty sure BlueCoat, Fortiweb, WebWasher, PaloAlto, and others would sinkhole it too at this point based on their own threat intel. These solutions have nothing to do with censoring "muh freezepeach", and are leveraged most by businesses to only sinkhole malware domains and Tor exit nodes.

@Xylitol, you're in to cybersecurity. We get it. Is there a solution you'd like to present here or are you just here to shill services?

 

[ICametoLurk]

Don't you find it interesting that this and @Xylitol joining happened on the same day?

Hmmm, that is quite an interesting coincidence

Yes, a very interesting (((coincidence))).

Not just antiviruses block now. Even uBlock Origin is blocking the site.

Forgive my ignorance about cryptocurrency, but what's the issue with the miner? Is it just considered a PUP or adware by antiviruses, is it a behavioral detection, or is it just a group of people submitting false reports to antivirus devs?

Just to submit this screenshot I had to use Microsoft Edge. I tried well over 5 times to load the page in Chrome but nothing loaded but the text on an all white background.

(((Someone))) is conducting an organized attack on all the mainstream normie malware sites.

What was even the point of doing this? What were they hoping for? Was it to drive away traffic?

Yes

Quick update: In Malwarebytes latest update they removed my whitelist for this and other sites and reblocked them.

 

[Mrs Paul]

Yep, I just had to put to this on my list of exceptions for Malware Bytes.






(Yeah, we all know you're sending us beastiality malware)

These cocksuckers have fucked with us more than once without provocation. Quit supporting them in any way.

Sorry for the necro but I need some straight advice. What free antivirus is the best, or at least the least bad?

All of them are bad, just torrent the paid version of Bit Defender.

Never ask this question because everyone will jump on you and call you a retard for using any anti-Virus software. They think they're so cool with their totally rad custom pixel-flame cursor, their free Xbox and because they're friends with a wealthy Nigerian prince

As long as you don't go on shady sites or download suspicious files, and have an ad-blocker, you should be perfectly fine with the built-in antivirus your own PC comes with.
If you must I got Avira for my parents, it was one of the few antiviruses that didn't blacklist the Farms and it's pretty good. It does have daily messages popping up asking you to upgrade though.

Ublock or a similar blocker is a good first line of defense. I suggest tracking down the AdGuard Russian and the RU AdList filter lists for some extra protection.
