[C320-list] Google Search

[Jeff Hare]

Hi All,

Regarding the Google Alert on our site:

It wasn't a false alarm unfortunately, but I believe it is fixed.  It
doesn't appear to have been a direct threat because they weren't successful
in altering our content to point to their exploit.

The Gory Details:
=================
On Friday Aug 13, some hacker managed to upload folder to the site
containing some exploits.  If any of our page content had linked to it, that
could have activated the exploit if someone had clicked there.

I noticed and removed the junk folder when doing a site backup a few days
after it happened, but apparently *after* google's crawlers found the folder
and put me on their naughty list.

If anyone does see any inappropriate links on the site (in comments or
anywhere), don't hesitate to let me know.

A full scan of the database didn't reveal any inappropriate links or malware
in there either so they weren't very successful in hacking our site content
...this time.

It seems like a full time job trying to stay ahead of these goons.  I've
scheduled Google to rescan the site and hopefully get back on the "nice"
list before too long.

Sorry for the inconvenience.  

-Jeff

Anyone know why a Google search of the Cataline 320 Int. Assoc. website says
"this site may harm your computer".?
