SeriousHoax 83 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Submitted this to ESET yesterday but hasn't been added to the blacklist yet. Kaspersky have already added after my submission. hxxps://bitvex(.)org/ On the news: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/elon-musk-deep-fakes-promote-new-cryptocurrency-scam/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESET blocked it after my submission here. But I agree with @peteyt. ESET should outright block it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStill 29 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I believe this falls into the same category as software cracks. Where they will warn the user but because the site is benign and doesn't do anything they won't block it. It is up to the user to make the decision on what to do. I believe most users will see the warning and leave but there will always be some that will not trust the warning and choose to proceed anyway. This does seem like a fair balance. Where the user gets to decide and not get annoyed by the anti-virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
