After investigation, it turned out that the URL and mirrors changed. See on: https://gitlab.com/malware-filter/urlhaus-filter#url-based

I have uBO v1.16.4.31b2 (acquired from here) installed in Serpent 52.9.0 32-bit and in my case I am still able to "update" the embedded Online Malicious URL Blocklist, however monitoring more closely in the Browser Console the updating process, I'm seeing the following:

i.e. the current update URI https://curben.gitlab.io/malware-filter/urlhaus-filter-online.txt?_=229604 finally redirects to https://gitcdn.xyz/cdn/curbengh/urlhaus-filter/343648350b2134423b55be2f2eed7da4a6ddf310/urlhaus-filter-online.txt and the "update" succeeds - so, I was not notified of the real issue via the extension itself; however, inspecting that list revealed that the gitcdn.xyz mirror only delivers an outdated version of the list (from March 14th):

! Title: Online Malicious URL Blocklist

So, many thanks to the OP for making me aware of the issue! 😉 👍
