The Anchoress An Attack Page?
Update: First Things is unblocked. In a way it's a tribute to success - if you have a site with a lot of traffic you are far more likely to be hacked. But it is also a potential avenue to shut down traffic to a site of which the hacker does not approve, because links on other sites to the hacked site may cause those other sites to be marked as dangerous. One of the commenters on The Anchoress left a link to this story about another hacked site.. End Update.
That's the message I get when I try to go to http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/theanchoress/

Dana Loesch told me it was a problem with the ads on their site. Somebody (evidently in Russia) was trying to pass malware through them.
I'm feeling a little sheepishly under-teched here, but why is Google showing malware warnings for First Things? Does Google host firstthings.com, or is something else going on?
Neil - it's just the Google protection feature. Google tracks problems with websites.
I have my Firefox set up to check with google for reported forgeries and attack sites, so it automatically gives me a message when I try to navigate to one.
