iam-py-testblocklist.site, the former website of the Blocklist Project, appears to now be owned by scammers.

When accessed via Tor, a VPN, or when using a known online sandbox, the website redirects to a page claiming the site is for sale.

While I have not independently confirmed this, I suspect the domain registration for blocklist.site expired, and it was purchased by threat actors.
