False positive whatis5g.info Malwarebytes Browser Extension for Chrome

[rjdougan]

Getting false positive on this domain (whteis5g.info) only when scam protection is enabled.

I have run through https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/ and https://www.virustotal.com/  both come back clean.  Please whitelist, thank you.

The browser extension blocks all .info sites by default. It will have to be whitelisted. @rakka

Added to whitelist.  Please give it an hour to propagate.  Thanks!

Site is still showing blocked.   FYI - I had a typo on the domain name on my request.  The correct spelling is whatis5g.info.  Please white-list this domain.  Thank you

Although the URL may be clean, and whitelisted, its IP address (shared by others) may be problematic: https://hosts-file.net/default.asp?s=75.98.175.126

That raises an interesting question (and if this has been covered before, my apologies):

If I were to set that site as an exception, would the local exception be based upon domain or IP address?  Because I would definitely not mind the single domain (full domain if possible) whitelisted, but obviously, I don't want the IP address excepted, only that one domain.

Browser extension (as the block at this thread) only can exclude domains, no IP

And if ask for the program  MB Antimalware, you should exclude by domain. Exclude IP will allow you access to the culprit malicious site
