Artoniworld: Reported Attack Site

I just got an e-mail from a regular reader of Lingua Franca about a warning on the site artoniworld.com.  In order to avoid unnecessary risks of contaminating your computer, below is the message received:

“I was reading Artoni’s post here:  http://epiac1216.wordpress.com/2009/04/16/a-handicraft-market-in-panama/#comment-3007

Then, I clicked on his name with the embedded web site and received a warning (see attached screen capture) from Google about artoniworld.com.

In this warning, there is a Google link that explains why this site was blocked (see below)

http://safebrowsing.clients.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?client=Firefox&hl=en-US&site=http://www.artoniworld.com/

My concern is that some of your readers might click on the link in his name to visit his artoniworld.com site…and, potentially, could cause them harm (directly or indirectly) if their security settings are not adequate.  The poster may or may not be aware of this security concern…may or may not be involved in the activity suggested by Google.

I just wanted you to be aware…”

Please be careful with this potentially dangerous Web site.  It’s probably that the author of this site in unaware of this situation.  I hope he/she reads this post and adopt the necessary corrective actions.  Good Day.

Edit: Thanks to a comment made by Don Ray, this problem has been resolved.  When you click the Artoni’s link, the Web site downloads without any problems.  I’m glad the bug has been crushed.  Thanks Don.
