Breitbart an attack site?

Post by Rod »

I just clicked from Newsbusters to Breitbart using my bookmark list and got the "Reported Attack Page" page. When I clicked on the why button, I got this:
Safe Browsing
Diagnostic page for http://www.breitbart.com

What is the current listing status for http://www.breitbart.com?

Site is listed as suspicious - visiting this web site may harm your computer.

What happened when Google visited this site?

Of the 3435 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 0 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2013-02-03, and suspicious content was never found on this site within the past 90 days.

This site was hosted on 2 network(s) including AS15133 (EDGECAST), AS15169 (Google Internet Backbone).

Has this site acted as an intermediary resulting in further distribution of malware?

Over the past 90 days, http://www.breitbart.com did not appear to function as an intermediary for the infection of any sites.

Has this site hosted malware?

No, this site has not hosted malicious software over the past 90 days.

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.

Next steps:

Return to the previous page.
If you are the owner of this web site, you can request a review of your site using Google Webmaster Tools. More information about the review process is available in Google's Webmaster Help Center.
Think someone's trying to hack them or is Google just being turdknuckles?

When I clicked on the page saying I wanted to go to the site, I got this warning:

If it's anything like Babylon Toolbar/Babylon Search, that thing is destroying C/Net. Took me a couple of days to flush it from the Windows 7 computer I just built up after it installed itself in Firefox during a momentary distraction.

Thank you for that info. I get the same thing when I try to access our soccer web page using Firefox from my home computer.
