Blocked from work - mailicious

Post by JF Lux » Sun Sep 16, 2012 4:23 pm

been meaning to post this for a while... :oops:

the site is now blocked from work. Flagged as "associated with malicious malware etc...".

No idea if that classification can be cleaned up/changed...and please tell me that the site hasn't been secretly dropping malicious code onto my home PC...

Nope all fine as far as I know. Our Barracuda system hasn't flagged it at work. I guess there is a chance that our web host has been blocked because one of their sites has had an issue.

There has nothing in the site that does anything other than cookies to make logging in easier - certainly not aware of any malware - but as Stu says it could be the host.


Not sure what you can do about it either.

More likely your IT dept has noticed you're on here all day and blocked it to get some work out of you :shark: :whistle: ;)

Pretty sure it'll turn out that the host has such a dodgy site on it and therefore all sites hosted on that host will be blocked automagically as some muppet thought that was a sane approach.
