As some of you may know, several days ago FYB got hacked. The purpose of the hack was to send people to a website selling pharmaceutical products. As soon as we realized what had happened we identified and cleared out the malware. We’ve taken precautions to prevent this from happening again and are working with some programmers to beef up our security in the long term.
I’ve received a number of emails from people saying that Google Chrome, Firefox, and other browsers have alerted them that the website is unsafe. We have submitted a ticket with both Google and Norton to review our website and give it a clean bill of health, but until that happens you will continue to get these warnings.
I want to take a moment to thank everyone who sent me emails about the problem. Visiting a website that’s flagged for malware isn’t cool — in fact, it’s downright annoying — but the emails I’ve received have all been from people who are supportive and understanding. That kind of response means a lot to Adam and me. So thanks.
