[Multibit and Multibit HD](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/MultiBit) became obsolete around seven years ago, because the new owners felt there were [too many bugs to fix](https://github.com/Multibit-Legacy/multibit). Therefore Multibit should not be used if you care about security. It is certainly possible that obsolete, old, unmaintained software would not be able to synchronise today.

I would instead read answers to [How to import multibit private key to bitcoin core?](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/q/108379/13866) and [similar questions here](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/multibit)

There do seem to be new websites using the name Multibit. I assume they are run by scammers trying to steal money from people who don't [check financial businesses](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/q/98743/13866) thoroughly.
