I think it's a great idea. One thing I think is important tho is to not take so long to do a reconsideration request.

It took over 30 days to get a reconsideration request on one of my sites...

Great source of information. Even though my site not affected with this vulnerability. Some of the sites i got links from have affected and shows such dangerous download caption in yahoo site explorer. Does it affect my website performance in Google SERP?

It would be great to have some statistics - how many searches result in such warnings, how many marketed sites are there, changes over time, breakout by infection type (SQL injection, flash exploits, browser exploits . . . )

Also, how this compares with Yahoo's siteadvisor.

Looking for someone to let me know of any insurance carriers insurance can be purchased for "vishing" attacks to a financial institution. I'm new to this blog-thing (it's an age thing, I'm sure) and am likely in the wrong area.

For those that do own a site that gets infected with malware it is important to discover how the site was attacked. So that the compromise does not reoccur.

Using open source and freely available tools you can get a pretty good picture of your servers / sites security status.

HackerTarget.com has a number of online scans available using nikto, sqlix, nmap and openvas to check for any obvious vulnerabilities.

I just did a google search to find out why suddenly every single result for every single search I do in Google comes up with this malware warning.

Guess what, even this blog is infected.

Glass houses, stones?

Google's malware warning is broken. Today (Jan. 31, 2009), from a google search, EVERY site (including this blog) is blocked with a malware warning. Please fix it right away, google folks!

If one subdomain is hacked, you result in a flag that results in the blocking of the entire root domain on Firefox and other applications. This is unacceptable, if, for instance the hack was to a CMS on one subdomain that isn't on any other. This can result in loss of millions of dollars for publishers and is unacceptable. Be more targeted in your blocking. Additionally, your review request should result in a re-test instantly. Time is money.
