Last year (20/21), Bing was directing people to website which had been hacked and from what I could trace on the offending site, via the bing cache, it was linked to Eastern European located websites. So I dont think its just Google, but Bing have been affected in the past as well.
I also dont understand why MS need a system in MS Edge (SmartScreen) which blocks you from accessing a website, yet the link to the website appear in the bing results, you would have thought Bing and SmartScreen would use the same data!?!
The only other thing I would check is that your system hasnt been hacked are you are seeing a Man In The Middle attack ie a fake google website and search results directing you to malicious websites via the search results.
Lets face it, how do you tell you are on the correct website and not some MITM website? Security certs dont tell you anything if the certificate company has had their root certs stolen or duplicated under a court order.
- hackerfromthefu 5y agoSo in SmartScreen they leave out a feature that is a low hanging fruit for protecting users - it's almost as if the real purpose of SmartScreen is to observe and control which Windows applications users run? It does seem consistent with the big tech pattern of stalking, and coercion through dark patterns. Edit - it's possible that they don't store which domain names files are downloaded from and only store binary file hashes, which would be another explanation for Bing not knowing the site is bad.
