One of the malware category sources no longer exists

One of the malware category sources no longer exists

[Adolf Belka]

Hi All,

I was just checking something based on a forum question and in doing that I found that NetmanageIT (https://github.com/2004gixxer600/BlockLists/raw/refs/heads/main/MaliciousDomain.txt) no longer exists on github, you get a 404 this is not the web page you are looking for.

If you do a google search then you can still find lots of search results so it probably just got removed or closed down recently.

NetmanageIT as a company still exists but there is no mention of this blocklist on their website.

Regards,

Adolf.

Hello Adolf,

Thank you for this email.

I did not notice, yet, but have now removed this source.

Furthermore I have removed “The Blocklist Project” from our Malware list with their “Malware” and “Ransomware” lists as they contained way too much advertising which should not have been on there. The list has decreased in size by quite a bit, but hopefully we should have much fewer false-positives now.

Best,
-Michael
