Chrome and Firefox are [blocking direct access to the movie download pages of popular torrent site YTS](https://torrentfreak.com/chrome-and-firefox-block-torrent-site-yts-over-phishing-200525/). According to Google’s safe browsing report, YTS.mx is a “deceptive site” that may trick visitors into doing dangerous things. The warning is likely the result of malicious advertisements. TorrentFreak reports:

_While the site’s homepage can be visited just fine, navigating to a torrent detail page throws up the following warning in Chrome. “Deceptive site ahead. Attackers on yts.mx may trick you into doing something dangerous like installing software or revealing your personal information (for example, passwords, phone numbers, or credit cards).” Firefox shows a similar alert and also prevents people from going directly to the download pages. In both browsers, people can, however, accept the risk and visit the page they were looking for._

 

_It’s not clear what the exact problem is but the Chrome warning mentions that YTS was caught phishing. This is also reflected in [Google’s Safe Browsing report](https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=https:%2F%2Fyts.mx%2Fmovie%2F&hl=en-US), which states the torrent site recently tried to trick visitors into sharing personal info or downloading software. Whether any of this is intentional remains a question. It seems more likely that the warning was triggered by some type of malicious advertisement._
