False negative: Openhost domain suffixes

32-b.it and 64-b.it are public suffixes offered by https://registry.openhost.uk/ with strict registration rules. They were once associated with https://now-dns.com/ during a period of being abused by their customers, but this is no longer the case under new management.

Domains on this list https://publicsuffix.org/list/ should be blocked at the second level (e.g., block bad-people.example.com but not example.com if example.com is considered a public suffix).
