Empty threatshield-dns lists

Hi everyone, since last night I’ve noticed that the ThreatShield DNS lists aren’t downloading. Here is the error I see in the logs:

adblock-4.1.5[3088]: download of 'malware_privacy_lvl3' failed, url: ``https://bl.nethesis.it/plain/community/free/malware_privacy_lvl3.dns``, rule: /[1]/ { print }, categories: -, rc: 0, log: --2026-09-13 12:55:05-- ``https://bl.nethesis.it/plain/community/free/malware_privacy_lvl3.dns`` Resolving bl.nethesis.it... 134.209.136.185 Connecting to bl.nethesis.it|134.209.136.185|:443... connected.

I tried connecting to the lists directly, but they are empty.

Hello Jack,
thanks to pointing it out.

Hagezi, one of our sources, has changed list location and format.
Lists should now be fixed.
