Anyone know why Google is reporting WizKidsGames.com as a malware website?
QUOTE What is the current listing status for www.wizkidsgames.com/? Site is listed as suspicious - visiting this web site may harm your computer. Part of this site was listed for suspicious activity 3 time(s) over the past 90 days. What happened when Google visited this site?

The last time Google visited this site was on 07/24/2008, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 07/24/2008. Malicious software includes 3 scripting exploit(s).

Has this site acted as an intermediary resulting in further distribution of malware? Over the past 90 days, www.wizkidsgames.com/ did not appear to function as an intermediary for the infection of any sites. Has this site hosted malware? Yes, this site has hosted malicious software over the past 90 days. It infected 2 domain(s), including mwdarkage.com, mageknight.com. How did this happen? In some cases, third parties can add malicious code to legitimate sites, which would cause us to show the warning message. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) -karma |

I heard about this happening to another site as of late. Basically the site was found to have a vulnerability which could result in it unintentionally hosting malware. It was related to a SQL attack. Google has begun scanning sites it links to for those sorts of vulnerabilities which might harm a browsing computer to help isolate them. When wizkids fixes the vulnerability, everything will be back to normal, no worries.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Whether they're right or not, I don't know. I don't believe anyone currently at WizKids is reading Dumpshock on even an irregular basis. You should send an email to consumerexperience@wizkidsgames.com |
