Website with fraud not blocked only on Briwser Guard for Safari

[Massimiliano]

Hi @gatortail

Can you take a look at this discussion of mine?

This site on my report is blocked by Browser Guard on Firefox and Chrome but not on Safari as you can see here

Counterfeit programs are on sale such as Autocad 2024 at € 40 with crack that involves deactivation of macOS SIP and manufacturer's server lock on the Mac Firewall

thanks and happy new year

It is Blocked by MBG so I would suggest making sure your copy is up-to-date or remove it and then reinstall it.

Hello @gatortail:

I verified the user's findings with macOS Sonoma 14.2.1, Safari 17.2.1 with MBG 2.3.0 for macOS and I verified @Massimiliano observations as true. (No MBG 2.3.0 phishing block for www.vendoprogrammi[.]it)

MBG 2.6.17 for all other browsers, on my Mac, does raise a phishing block as @David H. Lipman has observed.

HTH

Hello all, 

The reason you are seeing this discrepancy is the number of rules in the Safari DB are more limited than Chrome, Firefox and Edge. 
This is due to restrictions on rule limits placed upon us by the techinical architecture provided to us by Apple.

Thank you... a real shame not being able to block a scammer, because that's what it's about, for a reason like that

Thank you anyway

You still can. 
It just means don't use Safari due to its architectural limitations.  Use Mozilla Firefox instead.
