Coastalwatch.com.au - an attack site?

Anyone know why my browsers now report coastalwatch.com.au as an attack site? I've noticed it is now dropping off the .au when i try to access the site.

wow, looks like it has been hacked.

I'd probably recommend not to go there if you use internet explorer or don't have antivirus installed.

I found the report is via google? (and only affects firefox?)

Seabreeze.com.au had this with Symantec - their auto software wasn't so flash & classed one of our pages as a virus (which was bogus). Fortunately they fixed the bodgy report with 48 hours.

Seems a bit harsh to close down such a popular site on "suspicious activity 1 time(s) over the past 90 days." .. maybe they got hacked?

no flame suit needed there, its proven fact...

This could descend into a Firefox-vs-IE debate.

Changed it to safebrowsing.clients.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http://coastalwatch.com/ .. and still the same report

I checked the report on the "Malicious software is hosted on 1 domain(s), including jpsb.meibu.com/", and it says this domain hosts ~ 245 malicious scripts.

I'd guess that a hacker has managed to insert a link to their meibu site, which then chooses the appropriate script to hack whatever browser is present at the time.

Firefox presents the blocking screen because they have a partnership with Google, whereas Microsoft & Apple aren't really mates with Google so don't use the google service.

Again .. only speculating.... all will be revealed in time...

heh... for some reason Silverlight is the only stream off CW that works on my macbook ..

i hope it ain't Silverlight!

ya know what, i reckon its gotta be some surfer who's lost his fave surfbreak to a bunch of touro's.

having learned how to surf at the Pass, the feeling of perfection lost is kinda familiar ... although really there's lots of secret spots around here that not many ppl know about.
