Gaz,

this was just posted on their Facebook page:

speedcafe.com.au UPDATE - problem is now isolated to just users of Safari and Firefox browsers. Site is safe but need to rebuild a few areas before it is 100 percent back to normal.

better tell them chrome is having problems also

...and if you have good security software.

Had this happen to a site of mine a little while ago. The site gets hacked by a third party to which they add malicious code when you visit it. Once you correct it you can go to Google and request a review of its status and then it will be fine.

Not their fault but a real pain in the butt....

Note from the Editor,

Hi Speedcafe.com.au viewers. News Editor Grant Rowley here, offering my apologies for the ‘issues’ that Speedcafe has been dealing with in the past 24 hours.

If I was to explain the situation in racing-speak, it seems that someone let our tyres down which forced us to do an unscheduled pitstop.

During our pitstop, we found out what caused the tyre to go down and we’re nearly back on track and at full noise.

Google have black flagged us because of a loose wheel nut going into the fast lane but we’ve got the all clear from Internet Explorer and Google will be clearing us shortly as the cause of the flat tyre has now been found and removed.

In other words, Speedcafe was hacked. We were cut down in our prime! But like all champions, we’ve shrugged off the controversy and will be back at full pace very soon. Google may give you a warning anytime you type Speedcafe into the search engine. Rest assured there are no issues with infections as this has NOW all been cleared-up. However, Google will take a number of days to clear its warning.

A note to the hacker, get a life. A note to our readers, thanks for your many emails, phone calls, text messages etc. The show rolls on!

And how could it stop? The biggest race of the year is just around the corner …

See you all at Bathurst.

Grant Rowley

Same here

twinwebbers · 17 Sep 2010, 11:08 (Ref:2760846)

Firefox uses the google recommendation to block so until google clears the site Firefox will stop you. You can choose to ignore the warning and go there anyway.... Grant seems to think they have fixed the problem so there should be no risk, but at your own peril.

Still not working in Firefox-, at least I know why now.

What is it with some people who's only enjoyment seems to be to stuff up someone else's hard work?

TSR · 21 Sep 2010, 01:07 (Ref:2762233)

Is now working back on firefox

birtek · 21 Sep 2010, 03:01 (Ref:2762260)

I guess a mod doesn't have the same sense of humour as me, I posted this in the mnews titled thread

I used to have a site that this happened to. Sometimes its not a virus just an error in the script. Still sucks though.
