Hi all DB'ers...

I just wanted to let you know that the advertising server we run was compromised over the weekend and malicious code inserted which would have caused any desktop virus scanners as well as Google, cause a warning to be shown - such as the one shown below.

I investigated, along with security techs from the firm running our server, identified the issue and removed all malware off the sites, along with securing the advertising server against further attack.

Apologies if you got messages in the last 12-24 hours on the site being malicious but this is now resolved.

Thanks!
