Indeed - it is after all not possible that it was the result of one or more users with poor security practices.

Nothing here.

Site's clean. It's not listed and there isn't anything suspicious, and jsunpack says holy crap, that's a lot of js, but everything's benign.

This warning comes from reports of certain uneducated people with serious drawbacks in mental evaluation capabilitys who persist to report the MWO download to be a trojan / virus.
So the MWO homepage is deemed a malicious malaware distributer.
Certain AntiVirus programs report the MWO downloader/patcher to be a trojan/downloader virus.
In reality there were no hacks or malaware its just plain simple a malfunction of certain AV-programms.

Utter fiction.

the white knight in question arrives with 1853 victories so far.

I think you got lines crossed with Elizander - he has 1863 posts at this point in time. I'm sitting at an inferior 1282 (including this post). My internet-fu is not as strong as his.

Here is the Official Response to the site hack: http://mwomercs.com/...icial-response/

Some people are still receiving warnings, some aren't, but Google says that no Infectious Behavior was observed as a result of the pages on this web site since December 13th. StopBadware takes time to get sites reviewed and green-lit after being blacklisted in the first place.

I seem to recall Prosperity saying he'd escalated the issue for response.

Now I see that has been edited out by miss and **** all has happened.

Any update?

We are waiting for an official who can close down the girl (or whatever it is) for good. I did disable her posting abilities, but I have no idea if that has any consequences in regards to PMs.

Yeah, they need to stop this sort of thing, I just had half my PUG disconn because they thought a girl was actually talking to them.
