Couple of blocked sites, soon after visiting

[JoeTechie]

Hi,

 

A couple of websites were blocked after visiting them, we are they blocked?

https://www.statewatch.org/

https://www.waveshare.com/

The blocking of the waveshare website is strange as it does not show the malwarebytes warning page, but instead looks like a dns/ connection error I checked my malwarebyte logs and found that it was silently blocking the website, why is this?

Do you have notifications turned off in Malwarebytes? I get the same screen you get but also a notification above the system tray.

Both sites were observed with and without notifications at corner of screen, but both had Trojan blocks.  They have been cleared, but will not be accessible until after the next database update (within the next few hours).

Thanks, do you know why these had trojan blocks set on them. I actually place orders on the Waveshare website often. The statewatch block is also worrying as it looks like an attempt at political censoring.

Both domains have been removed.
