I'm retracting the question because an article came out saying that "According to security experts at Eclectic Light Company, Apple has fixed vunlnerability in iCloud"

@treed Regarding the Log4Shell vulnerability, are devices with Malwarebytes installed ( but everyone in general) protected? Can Malwarebytes Privacy in addition help? Does anything in particular need to be done to stay safer, other than normal practices? Thanks

@iTzHazZx I've been using this free app for years, and continue to use it, with great satisfaction and without taking any risk (below is the link) Freemacsoft - AppCleaner It is now a universal binary (version 3.6 from HighSierra to Monterey - Compatibility is guaranteed every year with the new system, a few weeks after release but I've never had a problem even with betas) It is also available for older versions of macOS (3.4 for OS X 10.10 to macOS 10.12 and 2.3 for Mac OS X 10.6 to OS X 10.9) I hope I have been helpful to you Have a nice Sunday Massimiliano

I am not able to get you the list because these sites I discover them by chance But on the same sites after a few hours, without changing anything in MWB BG settings, these ads disappear This is the only help I can give you It almost seems, but I'm not inside the processes enough to understand it precisely, that these AD circuits manage to break through the protection but the latter has a kind of AI and learns to block them Translated with DeepL Translator Free

Talking to my ISP is a lost cause at the outset. I hope to be able to change it as soon as possible. A new one must arrive, which is honest. In fact, it's not Italian. However, I use MWB privacy on iPhone, iPad and Mac and the problem is only on the Mac; it does not show up on my father's Mac and iPhone without vpn. Restarting the router anyway, at least as far as the IP is displayed is changed. I don't really keep any logins active except this forum.

@gatortail There are still many sites in Italy that manage to bypass your ad blockers. The list is impossible

@treed Sporadically continues to display that kind of message Could it be due to the fact that I'm not logged in with a Google account? thanks

Thanks. It had been updated in the background. I visited the sites at this time and now the ads are gone. Hopefully they won't find another way to get past your defenses.

Thanks If I find others, almost all Italian, for obvious reasons, I will not fail to report them in this discussion so that you can implement better filters.

for experience of acquaintances between those listed I would surely exclude TotalAV

Some websites that still manage to get around your block. I'm just attaching the links so you can analyze them. They are all local newspapers If I find more I will update the post Piazza Pinerolese L'eco del Chisone Voce Pinerolese

Well, congratulations. It's a whole other thing now. I hope it will come soon in Italy too, also for iOS and iPadOS As written several times the Call Protection and SMS Protection, for me would be a thing that serves little purpose in fact, having been Beta Tester for 3 years, the only call that had blocked was the Apple support while several, unfortunately of Scam type, had passed smoothly; SMS, at least in Italy, are little used, and in my case, if they do not belong to contacts in my address book, I normally trash them regardless, except for any OTP codes. I think, but this is just a suggestion, that they should be two separate products Protection for Safari and Protection for Calls/SMS. This one, though, I think is more of a suggestion that might be of interest to @treed This instead is a request for you @gatortail : is it possible in some way to split the ad blocker function from the tracker one; there is a site that I'm interested in looking at, that has ads, frequent but not invasive; I have to disable that protection to be able to see the site but I would like to allow them the ads but not the tracking. Is there any way that you know of? Thanks Translated with DeepL Translator Free

I had tried for some periods to use only your extension on macOS (on iOS and iPadOS devices there is not, at least for Italy so I used as 1blocker) and in others with 1blocker and after discovering Super Agent For Safari (this only to avoid the tedious practice of cookies banner imposed by the EU) Until about 3 weeks ago with only your extension the sites I normally visited were full of banner ads very invasive, in addition to video advertising Therefore I had reactivated 1blocker (which I purchased not in subscription but in perpetual mode) and I was thinking of leaving it like that for good Now to verify, after your question of clarification, I tried to disable everything except MWB BG and indeed the ads, at least at the times I tried, were no longer present. In the last 3 weeks or so, have you implemented new filters silently? Being a public beta (or so I understood) I think this is normal, but I was obviously not aware of it. That's the only explanation I can think of. I'm waiting for your clarification Have a nice day PS: Regarding certain types of content, which I consider inappropriate, I have partially solved forcing in the hosts file of my Mac Google SafeSearch and inhibiting the ability to access other search engines (unfortunately you can not do on devices other than Mac without JailBreak, practice that I consider aberrant and stupid) Translated with DeepL - Translator Free

Unfortunately MWB Browser Guard, at least in Italy, lets almost all advertisements through. Probably Italian sites have found a way to break the protection. Moreover it has some limits on cookies (I add together 1blocker and Super Agent that, if set correctly, automatically accepts only the functional/technical ones and on some sites if set correctly 1bloker rejects them all regardless, for example where you don't need login)

@treed, meanwhile thank you, right away I may have figured it out I changed the password and restarted the router Obviously all devices have disconnected The devices with that strange name were the two iPhones that are set with private addresses (in fact, the wi-fi addresses of the devices match), which I have now renamed At this point, after having reconnected all the family devices, I limited the wi-fi access only to the known devices, limiting the access to any device outside the list of the connected ones and I disabled the guest connection (Possible settings on Fritz!Box routers) Therefore no more devices can connect to wi-fi even if they know the password, except change that setting I'll see in the next days if the problem will be solved and I'll update the post Thank you for the moment

A windows machine in the network, definitely not. By now we have all converted to  devices and the only old PC is turned on only if you have to look at RX/RMN/TAC for diagnostic tests done or to create a pendrive with some content for the car radio/TV in order to remove the hidden files created by the Mac that on these devices give problems (unless you know how to suggest a method to do it directly from Mac). My ISP, Vodafone, I hope to get it off as soon as possible, I've had it since June while the problem has only been occurring for a few days. It assigns me a dynamic IP but my router is restarted very rarely, only when there are problems of slow connection that makes it impossible to use or other problems (it is not restarted for two months) so I would exclude a change of IP with others at least in the last month. My router (only device) connected to the phone network on which depend in Wi-Fi my Macs (Air M1 with Monterey) and my Father's (Mid 2012 stopped at Catalina), my iPad mini 2021, two iPhone SE 2020, and, I do not know if it connects to the router because it is a Black Friday purchase as well as an early Christmas, my Apple Watch 7 all updated to the latest available version of their respective OS, plus LG Smart TV and two Printers (Canon Pixma Mx 925, very old, almost never used because it's nearing the end, and an HP LaserJet) is a Fritz! Box 7530 that has been updated a few minutes ago to FRITZ!OS 07.29 purchased in March 2021 (I know there are a lot of new apple devices, but pretty much the old ones died almost all together 😭) On the network tab of the control panel of the router there are only known devices apart from a non-removable device called PC-192-168-178-35 with IP address 192.168.178.35 (I premise that the router has the name fritz.box and responds to IP 192.168.178.1) that is unknown to me and I can not understand It seems to me the only anomaly @treed, sorry I did not thank you at the top of the message, but after setting everything I could not create the space, Ideas about this, given the explanations given

I attach screenshot of situation that from some days is visualized from Google sporadically (not every day 1 time but almost) I also attach report Malwarebytes Premium Scan (manual scan a few minutes ago) I also have Malwarebytes Privacy (latest stable version available) installed on my Mac. On Safari are installed 1Blocker, MWB Browser Guard, Super Agent for Safari (for the automatic acceptance of technical/functional cookies only) On Firefox only Malwarebytes Browser Guard (I don't use it much and so far the situation has occurred only on Safari) There were no changes immediately before the situation began. Something was modified afterwards but it didn't change anything I may collect and submit any reports necessary for the analyst (as long as I am assured that no personal/sensitive data is included) Meanwhile thank you Have a nice day Massimiliano Google Situation Malwarebytes

@treed ... and Malwarebytes Mobile Security for the Italian market, plus the purchase from your site? I'm in fact waiting for a reply to my ticket 3636709 precisely because on 17/12 my license expires, for which I had disabled auto-renewal due to the change in the number of users, and I need to understand how to make the new purchase. (If you read the ticket you can see the forecast I have in mind, although nothing is final yet for both MWB and  devices). There will be some device changes due to obsolete devices and also changes in family setup. Thanks Good evening (at least in Italy) Massimiliano

I don't dispute minimal tracking to improve sales. I challenge aggressive tracking and the use of it to peddle scams or questionable content with possible scam attached. I object to tracking in particular from the Menlo Park group. And that's why I don't use anything they do. On Facebook I had an account because people I knew insisted; I closed it after 3 days and at the same time I closed the email address used. I also have no other social On WhatsApp I lasted less than a year. Now only Phone/SMS/E-mail and for those who have Apple devices I use iMessage (fortunately for me most of the contacts or at least those to whom I have to send something written) My situation is very unlikely to change over time. Translated from Italian to English with automatic online translator. Sorry for any inaccuracies

That your site is secure I have no doubt (It would be strange otherwise from a security software company). But that's not the case for everyone.

@alvarnell What I was referring to is what you see in the Manage Website Data screen in the Safari Preferences - Privacy Tab This makes me think that Apple's ITP (and also MBG) doesn't really block everything third-party. I'm not a developer Apart from this, that we all know to be traced to the marrow, the thing that I hate (and that I have experienced for the first, and I hope last time, only yesterday) is the fact that there are these redirects due to compromise of some website and it seems that nothing can be done

Thank you @treed for your reply Unfortunately, I can't help you. It never happened to me when I was still using Windows (but I'm talking about years ago and it probably wasn't so widespread), much less since I've been using Mac. Unfortunately I can't give you the URL because I'd rather not end up in that crap again. I've even deleted history, cache, cookies and flush DNS cache for extra security. Like I said my request came in today because of my bad experience last night and it had never happened to me. Surely there was something compromised in some website linked to the one I entered to look for more information about this doctor (probably some advertising circuit that had been hacked); research that I am doing having to undergo a delicate surgery that should solve a situation that has lasted for over 20 years. Definitely if it happens again I will pay more attention to what I see in the address bar (the only thing I remember was the first switch from a .it domain to a .nl domain) Honestly as far as ad blocking goes, I've reported it twice here in the Safari versions section since the beginning, there are very few that are blocked from MBG I report the links and quotes and I realize now with the reverse translation to reconstruct the whole and quote only the necessary parts made with a new online translator, that the previous one was bad but unfortunately my knowledge of English is reduced to a minimum Again on August 11 (https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/277525-feedback/) Actually I meant to say that at least 90% of the total are displayed, not that I want to display them In my feedback on August 18 (https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/277744-difference-in-the-allow-list-why/) and I also said that without 1blocker (which unfortunately at this moment I had to delete, despite the perennial purchase, because since the new versions of apple OS came out it nails too many sites and makes it impossible to use Safari and I'm waiting for a response from their support) practically all the ads are displayed. As for the trackers, I was talking about Facebook not by chance. In spite of Apple's blocks, FACEBOOK is present among the data of the websites always and comnque with cache and alternative HTTP services; I premise that I don't have an account on Facebook or other social networks (not even WhatsApp) and the same is true for a myriad of other domains that have the same entries. Then there are websites that have requests where to disable all possible tracking item by item because they do not have a cumulative one (unfortunately, among these is one of our local newspapers) you have to work about ten minutes (for this I solved it by blocking their domain in the hosts file) I accept suggestions about this, both to be able to reduce online tracking as much as possible (which is now at absurd levels, at least in my opinion) and to avoid any security problems or close encounters with this type of content that are certainly not among those I'm looking for, ON THE CONTRARY.

uBlockorigin does not exist for Safari This is the first time this has happened to me The system was reinstalled from 0 after formatting yesterday afternoon and the situation occurred last night. Malwarebytes Premium reports 0 items detected and Malwarebytes Browser guard didn't block anything even though I only the pharmacy booking system whitelisted. In the whitelist of the browser (therefore on which no type of block can interact) there are only the websites of the bank, of the Certified Electronic Mail and of the SPID provider (Sistema Pubblico Identità Digitale - Public Digital Identity System) which is used only to authenticate in the websites of the Public Administration. Looking for information on the above mentioned doctor I stumbled into an endless series of passages between porn sites and scam sites.After several attempts I managed to restart my Mac and immediately after the manual scan (I have one scheduled every day as indicated by the instructions) considered the system clean. If you think that a scan should be done you can kindly ask @treed for an opinion on what to do Thanks

@Porthos @AdvancedSetup I simply thought of proposing something that I thought would be useful as an additional (non-mandatory) protection for those who surf the internet and get flooded with what they didn't ask for. If it is not feasible, whatever the reason (Apple restrictions or other) does not matter Thanks anyway for your attention Have a nice day Massimiliano

@Porthos , @AdvancedSetup Apart from the fact that I didn't request a preventive censorship operation but the addition of blocking functions that can be activated with a free choice of the user, if it would be at least possible to block unsolicited redirects to sites of this type (both for certain contents and for those containing typical scams) as well as blocking indiscriminate cross-site tracking would already be fantastic. My request came up today only because I was looking for news about a doctor who has to do surgery on me (he's a top doctor in his particular field with several international publications) probably due to the compromise of some website or advertising networks I found myself in a compulsive redirect of sites with these contents (none excluded) that had even blocked the ability to close the browser (and I use macOS with Malwarebytes Premium and Browser Guard installed with only Safari)
