Sorry folks, particularly to my Google Chrome readers who would have experienced difficulty while browsing my site today. It seems my site is throwing up an incorrect message regarding embedded malware and stating my site as unsafe for browsing.
After investigation and moderate freaking out I have tracked the problem down to being within the DropBox service I use (I shouldn’t really honour them the traffic! But it really isn’t their fault, but they could have better monitoring practices.) and particularly, the domain dl.getdropbox.com and a wildcard URL from it being blacklisted by Google’s servers. I quite frequently reference DropBox on this blog and I just happened to be caught in the crossfire it seems.
The message appears on any URL hit under a member’s account on DropBox I’ve worked out, at first I thought it was just mine but as you can see, changing the Member ID on dl.dropbox.com results in the same error:
Mine:
Random User:
I use the DropBox service to synchronise files in the cloud between PC’s and to serve you guys a load of content including code samples and screenshots, it seems in doing so and having links pointing to these HTTP-accessible files somebody else using the DropBox service has managed to blacklist us resulting in this alarming error! Very frustrating!
So NO MORE DROPBOX FOR ME. I will commence moving all images, source code and all other links from my DropBox location onto goneale.com directly enabling me hopefully to not fall victim to this again which was simply caused by some unscrupulous user’s malware-infested DropBox account.
I’m not sure how long the changes will take to propagate and for Google to realise I no longer host DropBox links, so hang in there (should be <1 day) and again I appreciate if you were a Google Chrome user and you trusted my site enough to click through to read this message =:)
I repeat, this is a false message and please do not be alarmed!
