Yahoo is listed as being a suspicious site. I wonder why. Yahoo Groups, you think? |
As I said on Ionut's blog, there are malwares on ebay.com and myspace.com |
It should also give you example of the URLs that contained the malware. For example, www.google.com doesn't show anything bad in the report:
http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=www.google.com
So is it likely that it's just one of its other subdomains? |
Aha... I've found the offending subdomain:
video.google.com
http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=video.google.com |
How safe is all of "co.uk"?
http://google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=co.uk
"Google has not visited this site within the past 90 days."
Does this include all subdomains?
Maybe this domain is not considered to be a site. |
This is actually a part of our Safe Browsing API which you can use (almost) anywhere: http://code.google.com/apis/safebrowsing/
It's currently being used in Firefox 3 beta versions: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.safebrowsing.malware.reportURL
I think it's really cool because I often see people who have issues regarding malware being injected on their sites. This (along with the information in Webmaster Tools) helps them to work things out fairly quickly :-).
Where would you use this API? |
http://google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=sonicfever.com
the results don't seem to match. says there is malware, then says the site is clean. weird. |
George, the service works with one domain only, i.e. 'theregister.co.uk' etc., not using 'co.uk' |
Hi Jim, so the site itself is not seen as problematic, but it does have content which is seen as such. You can see that at:
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Asonicfever.com%2Fcoppermine
If this is your site, you can verify ownership of that subdirectory in Google Webmaster Tools and submit a malware review. If everything is clean, the warning in the search results (as well as the warning when browsing there in FF3) should disappear.
The reason we do that is because we don't want to block access to parts of a site that are ok. I think that's pretty fair, but it does require a bit more work from the webmaster when something like this happens.
While the diagnostic page could be a bit clearer, if you see 30 out of 100 pages recognized as bad, installing 40 trojans and 20 worms, I think it's a good sign that you should be very, very careful there :-). |
Thanks for clearing that up for me John.
Fortunately, it is not one of my sites. |
