You may have noticed over the weekend, starting on Thursday, that RFT Music was largely inaccessible. Users of Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox and likely others were blocked by warnings of malware, looking very similar, if not identical, to the one you see above.
The issue was one wherein Google flagged one of our sister sites, erroneously, as potentially having malware. It did not, but that didn't stop all of our sister sites, and ourselves, from soon suffering the same fate, resulting in our readers getting locked out of our site.
Obviously, this was frustrating for us, because we had some great articles published online, with no one able to read them. Here's what you missed:
