Chrome and false triggers

[Skuzzy]

A number of people are having issues with the Chrome browser and false triggers.  A false trigger occurs when the browser thinks it is seeing something bad coming to your computer and it reports it, only there is really nothing wrong.

Chrome seems to have a history of this problem.

The two reports I have gotten have proven to be false triggers.

Just a heads up.

Could you open the threads you've locked then?

Only locked one, and I am still trying to find the cause of the false trigger.

Apparently someone has reported the buccaneers web site as a malware source. Their server may have been hacked in the past (or even currently) and used to host attacks. Or they may have partaken into the famous PETA trolling attacks, which may have got a retaliation in false report. Who knows.

I'd put my money on the hacked server.

Very well could be.  There are tens of thousands Windows servers infected and the admins do not know it.

The Bucs site is hosted by 1and1, and I haven't received any alerts from them.

OTOH, I just tried logging into the FTP and its giving me an invalid P/W error, and I sure as hell haven't changed it...

Edit:

Awesome. 1and1 changed them for me and didn't even bother sending me any sort of alert or warning that they were doing so. @#$%ing great job there, 1and1.

Edit 2:

Found and fixed the problem. Apparently whoever compromised the P/W that 1and1 never bothered to alert me about inserted some code into the index.html file. Infected file has been replaced with a clean copy of the original, passwords have all been re-reset, checked through the site for other recently modified files, and I've alerted Google to recheck the site, so hopefully that fixes it.

Linux servers also. Any site that deploys wordpress or similar php based services is highly at risk, especially if they skip on the security updates.

Yep.

Chrome is freaking out about this thread now also

The site got flagged. I've already fixed the issues and reported in, it's just a matter of them getting off their butts and clearing it.

I've removed my signature until it gets straightened out.

I'll just reiterate my annoyance with 1and1 not even alerting me that my FTP logins were compromised and reset so I could have taken action and fixed it in a timely manner.

Anybody else have odd visions when reading the title of this thread?
