Malwarebytes is blocking the Brazilian Government website govbr

Malwarebytes is blocking the Brazilian Government website https://sso.acesso.gov.br/ with the message "Website blocked due to compromised".  This started to happens this week and the only way to access the website is turning off Web Protection.  This is the only way to access it.

Hi,

We're blocking the IP (189.9.176.13) due to recent brute-force attacks. https://www.abuseipdb.com/check/189.9.176.13

What should I do to access it once it is very important website to deal with Brazilian Government bodies?  Turn off Web Protection is the only way to do it right now.

Add the IP address  189.9.176.13  to the Allow List.

It's okay to block it for those outside of Brazil, but for Malwarebytes customers in Brazil it shouldn't be blocked because it's an essential website. Only now did I notice that it wasn't a problem with the government website, but with Malwarebytes that had blocked access because I left notifications disabled.
