Ars Technica flagged by Chrome for Malware
- mooism2 15y agoFlagged by Firefox as well.
- divtxt 15y agoPossibly similar: I accidentally had flashblock disabled, and a malicious flash ad on wired.com performed many MB of requests and then redirected me to another site after 5-10 seconds.
- adsr 15y agoFlagged in Safari as well and at Google Safe Browsing diagnostics page: http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=arstechnica.com http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=arstechni...
- TazeTSchnitzel 15y agoThat's probably the reason. Several browsers use Google's lists, I think.
- khuey 15y agoFirefox, Safari, and Chrome all use Google's list. Opera might, I'm not sure.
- Splines 15y agoI was redirected on Ars to some other site today as well. disconnect.me seems to block whatever is going on.
- vevmesteren 15y agoall is well again...
- mey 15y agoInformation in Ars' Forum about the event. Initial theory is that one of their ad-networks got hacked. http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1171612 http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1171612 Edit: In the short term they've disabled ads across the entire site in an effort to keep the injection channel blocked.
