hydrachess.com Registered as an Attack Site ?!

Post by Sean Evans »

Hi, I went to http://www.hydrachess.com/ to read about it and I get a message that it is an attack site, also with a google search I get a malware warning http://www.google.ca/interstitial?url=h ... m/main.cfm

May be this helps to explain it:

http://safebrowsing.clients.google.com/ ... chess.com/

Cordially,

Sean

It can happen to any webmaster not just hydrachess. Forums running boards such as phpbb are also vulnerable to (automated) attacks such as the Santy Worm attack (NeverEver NoSanity). Stay on top of your server and ensure all applicable updates are installed. If running a forum, ensure you are using the latest patched version.
