Whiteflash / Google Accessibility Alert

[Allison D.]

We''ve discovered today that people trying to click through to our site from a Google search are reaching an error page with a malware warning.

I want to thank those folks who were kind enough to also bring it to our attention and let everyone know that we''re on it. Our hosting company is resolving the problem as we speak and it should be cleared up within 24-48 hours once Google reindexes the site.

Our website itself is fine and fully functional, so visitors to www.whiteflash.com will have no problems.

Thanks to all for your patience and for your vigilance in making sure we know about it. We really appreciate the goodwill!

I only got the message when trying to access it with FireFox. When using Internet Explorer, I didn't experience the message. Just for anyone out there becoming frustrated with the Google warning message.

I just noticed this problem as well. You can''t get rid of it and it shows up on every page.

How did this come about? I don''t know much about how google scans or determines the page to be "exploited" or dangerous.

Hope all is fixed soon.

The AU dollar is slowing going up = more purchases! weeeeeee.

Probably some spammer reported it as such to google, probably multiple times, and google acted on it without verifying first.

Allison, when I click from your link or even just type the address in, I am getting a warning box pop up in the window that says something scary about Malware. Idk if that helps any, but I hope you guys get it fixed! I wanted to browse some ACAs!

 

[BB2]

Yep, I received that warning in Safari and Firefox today.

I''m getting it just typing in the address, too, just like Miscka. I''m using Firefox and Safari, and it happens on any Whiteflash.com site (can''t visit my bookmarks). Hope it''s resolved soon!

One other thing I wanted to mention is that WFDiamondDebi on twitter was blocked recently. I was going to tweet to her to ask about the site being blocked, but the twitter "nothing to see here..." page came up. What''s up?

The alert is gone, it seems like everything is right now.

Allison (or anyone else from Whiteflash),

I’m glad to hear it’s gone. Those of us who live off the Internet live in fear of this sort of thing. Can you give us some insight into what might have set it off and, equally importantly, how you fixed it? I sure hope it never happens to me but if it ever does I fear I’m utterly unprepared for it.
