A site I frequent has begun opening scam security warning windows when I go there.
Two of them play an audio recording telling me to call the telephone number shown, to remove adware/malware/virus from my computer.
I've added the addresses to my hosts file several times, trying different variations, but the pages continue to load. So I created a block rule for the same addresses in Little Snitch, and the pages were successfully blocked.
Why weren't they blocked by the hosts file?
WARNING!
THE FOLLOWING ADDRESSES LOAD SCAM WEBPAGES!
Thus far they have never frozen my Safari browser, unlike several other similar pages I've run across.
I've intentionally not made them links, so you'll have to cut & paste to test 'em.
