Malware
alerts struck the web last night and this morning, in a preview of what
Internet users have to look forward to once the real cyber false flag hits the
Net. Real and fake malware will create
chaos, as users get blocked from their favorite websites.
Regular
visitors to BIN may have noticed that we had some of those cute red screens
courtesy of your browsers (Safari, Chrome and Firefox) on our site last night
and this morning alerting you that "you'd better not go there".
The
Google Chrome malware warning from BIN late last night. Firefox and Safair had similar dire warnings
for these sites.
Outages
were reported at many popular sites, including ZD Net, CNET, Glenn Reynold's
popular Instapundit, etc. Here's a
report from ZD Net that covered their end of things. Facebook is running behind, they are still
showing warnings for some sites, including BIN.
The BIN site is completely clean at this time, according to Google.
Here's
a screen grab from Instapundit:
Has
anyone else noticed what's happened to the internet? Sites with edgy alternative content or
conservative points of view get hacked more often, and in this case not hacked,
but effectively taken down by scary looking warning messages. This type of censorship has been going on for
years with email. If you want to keep a
lid on the news, you just signup for a site's email, then send it to one of the
50 self appointed "spam police" sites and they'll blacklist a
site. It usually takes a day or two for
things to return to normal and get off the blacklist and by then the damage is
done. The same thing is now happening to
web sites.
There's
only one way around this, a new way to communicate and get news and information
using the internet. We've been
developing it for a year and it's going to be what we think is a very good
alternative to insecure email and chat programs, as well as providing a way to
view web content without surfing around for it.
