AlienFTM Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Well there's a surprise. I occasionally find myself being warned by the corporate firewall about dodgy websites, but I didn't expect Google to throw this up: Danger: Malware Ahead! Google Chrome has blocked access to this page on hmvf.co.uk. Content from http://www.tankmuseum.org, a known malware distributor, has been inserted into this web page. Visiting this page now is very likely to infect your computer with malware. Malware is malicious software that causes things like identity theft, financial loss, and permanent file deletion.

79x100 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Google is giving me a warning on Tankmuseum too. Safe Browsing Diagnostic page for tankmuseum.org What is the current listing status for tankmuseum.org? Site is listed as suspicious - visiting this web site may harm your computer. Part of this site was listed for suspicious activity 4 time(s) over the past 90 days. What happened when Google visited this site?

The last time Google visited this site was on 2013-01-29, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2013-01-29. Malicious software is hosted on 2 domain(s), including codeweb.cz/, ugnyspyr.ru/. 2 domain(s) appear to be functioning as intermediaries for distributing malware to visitors of this site, including amscanada.ca/, codeweb.cz/.

No, this site has not hosted malicious software over the past 90 days. How did this happen?

Jack Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Thanks chaps - that looks iffy. Joris will have a look. ] - failing that, I will :blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joris Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Chaps, not much I can do about it. The Tank Museum has landed itself on the Malware list of Google and thus images (or content) linked from the tank museum are considered dangerous by Google. When the tank museum is no longer on the malware list the problem is solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tank Museum Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Sorry for the delay on our response folks. Last week, during the night of the 29/30 Jan, our website was the victim of a highly sophisticated attack - and a number of internal links were re-routed to another (obviously dodgy) website. This was spotted by Google within a couple of hours of the attack, at which point we were knocked off-line. But even though the problem was fixed at our end relatively quickly (that morning in fact), it took Google a while to re-instate us and re-grade our site as `safe`. There was a bit of a bureaucratic process to go through – and for that reason, certain browsers were throwing up malware warnings as late as Thursday.
