Angler exploit

[Tony]

Norton is reporting this site as unsafe and is blocking an Angler Exploit Kit Website 8 when I enter the forum. Anybody else getting this threat warning?

I'm using Norton Security and haven't gotten any warning.

Norton isn't giving me a warning either.

Norton and no warning either!

I did some research this morning and it looks like at one point a potentially malicious Flash file attempted to make a DNS request to this domain during analysis. Users of exploit kits will often compromise sites like this and use them to deliver malware to "victim" browsers. Often on the these forums the vulnerabilities are found in poorly developed plugins like Java based photo galleries. Site looks clean to me now, but an Admin should do a once over and make sure all third party libraries employed by this site are updated and patched or disabled.

I got another warning this morning when I entered the forum. I've attached the screen capture.
