Bitdefender blocks malware infected sites that Brave tries to reach

I’ve been getting quite a few reports lately from Bitdefender saying that there was “Infected web resource detected”. The most recent case was today which had about 8 reports and another one was a few days ago with a few more that day.
The message from the scan said this:
