It's still blocked for me, with Google branding wired.com as "a known malware distributor."
- lvs 12y agoWell that's technically a correct statement. Try: chrome://net-internals/#dns Click "Clear host cache"
- bashcoder 12y agoActually the issue was that I was using Google's DNS. When I disabled that, it worked just fine. But thanks for showing me the Chrome trick. As to the technically correct statement, don't you think that saying a site is a "known malware distributor" is a bit more sweeping than saying something more accurate like "we discovered malware on this site"? In other words, they are using the same language I would expect to see directed towards sites that have malicious intent and should never be visited.
- spacemanmatt 12y agoHow should they word when the site is known to distribute malware? There is no difference between discovery and distribution, if you consider the method of discovery.
