sterneworks and superbon were the subjects of a malware attack. They appear to be back up. The files have all been cleaned and I changed all my passwords. If you still get some kind of scary google notice about malware, please send me an email.

Wasn’t Google sending practically everyone scary malware pop-ups for a time last week? Was this different?
Who knows. A malware program attempted to write stuff into superbon’s cache using the search box (rather than by hacking my password). It’s not even clear that it worked, but the alerts weren’t on Saturday.
But it does raise the issue that the CS Monitor has pointed to: google has effectively installed a web monoculture, and when it goes down, so does the web.
