    Starting Sunday (6/4) whenever I go to the hpHosts website I get "the connection has timed out" message. Anyone else having problems? Their forum seems to be okay, just the site to download hosts files can't accessed.

    Downloading of the hosts-file via http seems to work :cautious:

    Hello G1111 & mood:

    G1111: I have verified your observation and a request has been made to look into this with Malwarebytes staffers. The issue seems to be limited to HTTP Secure connections only. @mood's observation has been validated and reported also.

    Thank you.

    Using mood's post above I was able to download the June 3 database and June 7 update (via http).

    Hello All:

    It appears that the HTTPS issue has been resolved by Malwarebytes and/or AWS. Please re-check your original observations.
