Well that was the most useless study I've seen in while. Torrent sites getting flagged as malicious. Who would have thought?

So what's different about Bridgerton compared to other popular shows that makes it especially 'dangerous'? Not interested in click bait

Malware-ridden streaming sites included 1337x

Did I miss something? I'm aware that they've had and continue to have some malware issues, and are slow to respond, but does it count as malware-ridden? Do they have any significant amount of malware on movies/TV? I'm only aware of executables (games/software) that have malware hidden inside.

Dangerous here means: malware or viruses might be bundled with the episodes.

Might but much, much more likely, somewhere on that site was once something that was deemed malicious. The whole site (IP/domain) gets flagged. "Keygen.crack.Office365.exe.torrent" for example.
