I went to sedo.co.uk and sedo.com and get this message using Chrome -


www.sedo.com contains malware. Your computer might catch a virus if you visit this site.
Google has found that malicious software may be installed onto your computer if you proceed. If you've visited this site in the past or you trust this site, it's possible that it has just recently been compromised by a hacker. You should not proceed. Why not try again tomorrow or go somewhere else?
We have already notified www.sedo.com that we found malware on the site. For more about the problems found on www.sedo.com, visit the Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page.
 
Looks that way.

I wonder if the sudden rush of offers on my domains is linked in to that somehow..!

Including twice the price on one I already agreed to sell last night :(
 
Just noticed same using Firefox, reports SEDO.com as an Attack page.
 
Sedo.com and Sedo.co.uk for me in Chrome.

Always knew that those Germans were a bunch of dodgy feckers :p
 
Sedo has been made aware that visitors attempting to access the Sedo.com or Sedo.co.uk websites using either the Firefox or Chrome web browsers have been receiving security alerts preventing entry. While the Sedo website is still accessible without warning on both Internet Explorer and Safari, we immediately began investigating the root cause of these warnings to ensure there was in fact no risk to our users or visitors to the site. At this time we can report that no threats have been detected and our technical teams are currently working with Google and others to ensure these false warnings are immediately removed.
 
So you are 100% sure these are "false" warnings? Or is it that your IT dept just has not found the threat yet? Is it 100% safe to log on?
 
Looks like all of Sedo admin area .co.uk & .com down, also parking pages :(

Yeah, working here as well.

Or maybe that's cause were based in Ireland and Google might think... Aaw those Irish, they laugh at everything.

:p
 
OK

Works via my 3 dongle, must be my ISP ( Virginmedia) choosing to block it.

Thanks

Yep, can confirm, message is gone from Google and all seems to be 100% fine both through Virgin Media and BT. The time it tok Google to remove the message from the serps was amazingly quick... Do you guys know someone there? ;-)
