One last post on this topic for now, since this entry is pertinent for a complete picture of what is happening with the Google malware bot. Let’s just say for argument’s sake that I’m wrong, and the combined minds of the Google hive are right. An entire company of boffins must be smarter than […]
Read More… from Someone has it worse: a site, clean since April 7, that Google still blocks
That was an interesting experiment. Although Lucire Men is still clear (for now), Google decided it would play silly buggers a few hours after we put our (clean) ad server code back on Autocade: But why? Here’s what Google says: which means: we can’t find anything wrong with this site […]
Read More… from The answer’s no: Google’s still in a dream world
Not a political post, sorry. This one follows up from the Google boycott earlier this month and is further proof of how the house of G gets it very, very wrong when it comes to malware warnings. As those who followed this case know, our ad server was hacked on April 6 but both […]
Read More… from Putting back allegedly “malicious” code: has Google caught up with reality?
No matter how bad you think you’ve got it, some poor bugger has it worse. One webmaster, Steven Don, has had Google claim that he has anywhere between nine and fourteen trojans on his website, but he has none. The Google Safe Browsing page claims nine trojans presently, but can’t say which domains he […]
Read More… from Webmaster sees Google blacklist his site for two months
This is from my good friend Alexandru Dutulescu. Where I come from, this is libellous, since it is, well, a load of bollocks. In the delusions of Googleland, presumably, this is an innocent computer error. I can’t believe how often Google gets away with this stuff just by fooling people and telling them their motto […]
Read More… from Of course Google’s Chrome blocks this site, too, over false accusations
It’s day six on the Google blacklist for Lucire. And no, we still don’t know what they are talking about. StopBadware doesn’t know what they are talking about. Our web guys and all our team in different parts of the world don’t know what they are talking about. Today, I decided to venture to […]
I’m pleased to note that the Stop Badware people have manually analysed jackyan.com, lucire.com and autocade.net, and cleared all sites at 8.01, 8.01 and 10.01 a.m. GMT respectively. Google, however, is still showing this to Chrome users as at 9.10 a.m. if they visit the Lucire website: I am not surprised. […]
Read More… from Chrome continues to block sites although Stop Badware clears them
Frustrated with ongoing Google’s false accusations over our websites, I joined the Stop Badware community today (Badware Busters), and got some sensible advice from a Dr Anirban Banerjee of www.stopthehacker.com. He had checked what Google was on about, and noted that it was still making the same accusations it did on Saturday—when we know […]
Read More… from How Google can get it wrong: an expert on malware gives advice
Google continues to throw up big red flags to anyone visiting Lucire’s website today, although its own Webmaster Tools page reveals that it has not found any problems since Saturday: Given that we had sewn up the server on Saturday, and deleted every instance of the hack, then Webmaster Tools’ inability to find dodgy […]
Read More… from Google can’t find any more problematic pages, yet continues blacklisting
After a day of worrying about a potential Facebook privacy breach—and some very simple questions no one seemed to be asking—Richard MacManus’s Facebook status update attracted a comment from Jesse Stay: Someone needs to go back through their email notifications, and if we can find one that matches a wall post, where the email notification […]
