Both Chrome and Firefox currently block the popular illegal torrent site KickAssTorrents. The website is marked as deceptive and according to the warning ‘attackers on kat.cr may trick you into doing something dangerous like installing software or revealing your personal information (for example, passwords, phone numbers, or credit cards).’
It’s unclear why the browsers block the torrent site, but it’s not the first time. Previously the site was blocked by both browsers because it served malicious advertisements. Both browser uses Google’s Safe Browsing technology which is why they report the same.
KickAssTorrents is currently the most popular site amongst internet pirates. The site especially blossomed when The Pirate Bay was down for several months.
It’s possible to ignore the warning from Chrome and Firefox by clicking ‘details’ and then ‘ visit this unsafe site’ but it’s not advisable.
