YTS backed up by Chrome and Firefox for phishing

Chrome and Firefox seem to block direct access to the movie download pages of the popular YTS site. According to the safe report of Google, YTS.mx is a “deceptive site” that can trick visitors into doing dangerous things.

The warning is a possible result of malicious ads.

Google regularly scans websites for malicious and content to help them of to avoid dangerous situations.

The Safe service It is used by popular browsers such as Chrome and Firefox. When a website is flagged, they display a warning before anyone can access the page.

The same happens with YTS.mx since at the moment it seems to be blocked. Although the homepage of the site appears fine, if you try to continue navigating a torrent page the following warning (Chrome) appears.

Firefox displays a similar warning and prevents users from visiting download pages directly. In both browsers, however, users can accept the risk and visit the page they were looking for.

We do not know what the problem is at this time, but if we believe the Chrome warning, YTS has been caught using methods Phishing. Google's Safe Browsing report says the torrent site recently tried to trick visitors into sharing personal or download one .

We do not know if any of these actually happened. But what we have encountered in the past is that many times safe browsing reports are triggered by some kind of malicious advertising.
We had similar problems in Pirate bay, but the warnings disappear when the webmaster removes some ads.

So can its managers YTS resolve the issue, but Google tagging will not go away easily. A few years ago, the Google Safe Browsing team he said that the warning will remain on the "repeat offenders" for at least 30 days, which will seriously damage the traffic.
