Good day everyone,
I woke up on saturday with my blood pressure x2. Why?
Read this and you'll see why:
http://www.threadwatch.org/node/9350
As a case precedent in the sector and one of only 193 other websites worldwide hit by this. I was in a panic. How did this happen?
As you all know, pussy.org spiders galleries (and yes they are not my hosted ones - am i crazy? probably). Next week I will not spider galleries anymore but take submissions (hurrah) since I have been working on a new system for several months. Anyway before you all bitch at me, Ive made lots of money for people with their galleries on my site :P
So anyway, one of the galleries was redirecting to a virus at a certain location at a certain time. I have no idea where it was, or how to find it, because its gone now. But someone reported me to stopbadware.org and there it went. Half my SE traffic gone overnight, not because I lost the spot, not because I was banned, but because 10 harvard students decided they knew my site better than me.
Pussy.org never hosts any badware or malware on its site, the gallery was 3rd party.
Anyway, after calling the private numbers email address and faxes of every person at the organisation on the sunday and emailing every single staff member, adding them all on facebook, sending messages to all their friends, they finally decided I was crazy, got scared, and have told me a few minutes ago that the warning will be gone by close of business today.. Still 3 days and 300,000 surfers lost - the question - sue or not to sue?
I put it to you... never the less. IF you accept submissions, or IF you spider galleries, im warning you, this could happen to you like it did to me... Every other website owner I have found have taken months to get this warning removed.
Galleries beware!!!!!
Regards,
JB
