hpHosts website

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

 

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.

 

Okay, thanks 1PW.

 

Same.

Getting this error:
There was a temporary DNS error. Try refreshing the page.
Error Code: INET_E_RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND

 

I was having this said problem on android using dns66 in which it has hp host files and it was throwing a download error at me and still is.
But these post by members help me understand what is going on, thanks to all

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.

HTH

 

Now https works too

 

Fixed, thanks.

 

Many thanks to @G1111 and everyone else for reporting and confirming.
