[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 912273, member: 32260"] [USER=154]@JoeN[/USER], I noticed that you use phishing links that point to phishing domains. Unfortunately, some AVs often do not block domains but only malicious content (scripts, files). Many phishing websites cannot infect the user until he/she sign in or click something malicious, and then the AV will block only the malicious script or another malicious file in the subdomain. One example of such AV is Windows Defender with Network Protection. Of course, when the malicious content is loaded when rendering the website, the domain will be blocked too. See for example: [URL unfurl="false"]https://malwaretips.com/threads/updated-29-12-2018-browser-extension-comparison-malwares-and-phishings.80915/post-764253[/URL] [B]Another thing is that close to 90% of malicious URLs are not active after one day, for example:[/B] "[I]In fact, over a 60-day period, Akamai observed more than 2,064,053,300 unique domains commonly associated with malicious activity.
