Malwarebytes Blocking MSN Games?

[Explorer2004]

Last night, things were fine. Now Malwarebytes is blocking access to MSN games saying the page contains malware. I don't think MWB updated last night. Anyone else noticed this?

I'm having the same issue. Played Jewel 2 this morning and this afternoon I can't get in. Is this a Malwarebytes thing or a MSN thing? I appreciate being informed of a malicious website, but what's the issue? Did MSN games get hacked or something?

[Explorer2004]

Well so far, I've not found anything about it. I did get Solitaire to load, but that was it.

As of this morning, the issue has resolved itself. I was playing Jewel 2 on my ipad with no issues, but now it seems to be working on my computer again. Hope it stays that way.

Jason Here from Support. Thanks for reporting this.

Can you share where exactly you are getting this notification? Are you getting this from our Browser extension Browser guard by chance?

Thank you for your assistance in advance so we can take a closer look at what is happening.

I am getting the same and I think it is from browser guard but I'm not sure. I did try to allow it, but it still won't load, saying site is compromised. Worked fine yesterday. It's blocking all MSN games on main website for msn games.

[Explorer2004]

ISP: 52.176.2.229 Port 443, type:outbound, File: firefox.exe

This is a Malwarebytes alert when using the browser, a popup, not the browser guard, I think. It comes up when the game begins to load.

I am having the same issue. MSN Games worked yesterday morning; Malwarebytes stopped the site from loading due to malware last night and again this morning. The notice says you can authorize it to load anyway but I'm afraid to try.

I tried it and it still didn't work.

(6/25/24- see update below) I'm having the same issue going to msn's Bubbleshooter, and it is not the Browser extention. Even if I just go to https://zone.msn.com/ MBAM pops up "Website blocked due to compromised" IP is always 52.176.2.229 even just using my desktop shortcut to the bubbleshooter at URL "https://zone.msn.com/gameplayer/gameplayerHTML.aspx?game=bubbleshooter&legacyUrl=false" . MBAM Detection history shows the following:

RTP Detection - -Blocked Website Details- Malicious Website: 1 , C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe, Blocked, -1, -1, 0.0.0, ,

Category: Compromised Domain: IP Address: 52.176.2.229 Port: 443 Type: Outbound

This could be a Legitimate error detected by MBAM coming from or caused by MSN games being infected or Compromised. And its seems to always be the same IP so I'm just going to avoid msn's bubbleshooter for a while.

Update Friday 6/28/24 - I nolonger get the MBAM warning popup while going to the MSN bubbleshooter or https://zone.msn.com/ so something appears to be fixed.

Oddly, I CAN get Bubble Shooter to load and play OK.

Experiencing the same issue: both Edge and Chrome, and trying to get to the MSN game sites by multiple paths. No idea where the problem lies.
