Has anyone had a problem with cacherstats.com? Google blocked it today for me. I got a message that said:

What is the current listing status for cacherstats.com?

In some cases, third parties can add malicious code to legitimate sites, which would cause us to show the warning message. |

Same for me. Don't know what's going on. Weird.

Interesting.
The cacherstats.com website seems to be hosted by IXwebhosting which have continously been targeted by attackers who have managed to insert malicious redirections on their servers. http://blog.riskythinking.com/2008/11/my-website-got-hacked.html is one.
Maybe that is what happened here as well.

I recall seeing a recent post or two on the national forums about that issue. I didn't bother reading them, because it wasn't affecting me, but I'll see if I can find them again and let you know.
Edited to add:
Not much help, but here's the thread

Hi Jonas,
Yes I am aware that Google has found a problem with a couple of the many webpages that I have. I have researched the problem and determined that the cause is a script that is running at the webhosting company that is injecting the malwasre into those webpages. I have opened a trouble ticket with them and have fixed the two webpages. You can access the clean webpages by entering http://www.cacherstats.com in the address line of your browser, not the google search part.
Cache on,
Grand High Pobah/Brady Nellis

Watch out with the cacher stats website.
I just went to it with both IE and Chrome and typed in the URL directly (as opposed to going to it from google) and both times some component on the website attempted to infect my computer. It looked like it was not his own webpages that were infected but one of his hitcounters.
I would stay away from that site for a few days.

I got the warning just now as well. Hopefully the fact that I'm on a Mac will prevent infection.

Another thread.. but it's a myth that Macs have little risk of being infected with a virus or other malware.  |

I just visited the site and no warning popped up. I hope that means the problem has been cleared up.

No warning at work on a PC via Internet Explorer. Warning at home on a Mac via Firefox. Any explanation from someone who understands why?
