One of my posts was hacked. It’s not clear to me at this stage if it was the result of a WordPress Exploit, or other content that I had linked to, but there was an embedded no-script tag that was attempting to link in an i frame from some not-so-good place.

Having removed that, this site now loads about 357 times faster.

I follows up using Google’s tools for webmasters and asked to have my site reviewed. Again I asked for them to please clarify what it was that they didn’t like.

Of course I didn’t get a response, but searches today show that they have removed the warning.

Thanks again Google

OK…

They warned me that search engines would display that datapoohbah.com might contain files that could hurt your computer. WTF?

I know I can be harsh at times, and there may be links to some utilities here or there that might be of dubious nature. But there isn’t a damn thing here that’s harmful to your computer.

They claim that my site might have been hacked… Uhm, OK, I’d probably notice if it was but can certainly understand that some folks might not notice. Fair enough.

But what they didn’t do was tell me what exactly it is that they think is “potentially unsafe”.

This is a crock. I couldn’t reply to the email as it was a notification email only. I found the program and sites used to ‘rate’ unsafe sites like mine and have sent several emails asking for clarification. All to no avail.

Thanks Google.

I’ve half a mind to start sending out emails warning that Sergey Brin, just might have an STD. Apparently I don’t need to disclose what STD it is, or even if it’s true.
