h.parrable.com blocks seemed to only occur on FF

[cushlomockree]

Had the same problem on Monday (h.parrable.com). I uninstalled FF, reinstalled and the problem briefly went away but returned.

Then yesterday AM the Google blocks started along with raw IP addresses, that too went away, but only after I disabled "WEB Protection". In Afternoon (EDT), I re-enabled RTP, and have had no further issues.

Yesterday's blocks occurred on FF, Chrome, Edge.

The h.parrable.com blocks seemed to only occur on FF.

Why this stuff is not posted on malwarebytes.com vs. this forum is a mystery. Many people, especially those working alone, thought their computers had been infected and spent hours scanning...

The issue as it turns out is not your browser as thought. This appears to be a server-side attack that can affect any browser.

You may have had some bookmark, cookie, or some other tracking item that referenced the site.

 

At this point unless you really try you cannot get to that website. It was taken offline.
