ECCIE Site contains malware

Google now stops me from entering ECCIE with this message:
"Google Safe Browsing recently detected malware on www.eccie.net. Websites that are normally safe are sometimes infected with malware. The malicious content comes from crossroadsumc.org, a known malware distributor."

I would like to suggest that the moderators contact their web tech people and get our web site cleaned up. This hobby has enough challenges without our computers getting fucked up too...
We don't need that shit!
I too saw that message. Mobile is the only way to view for me now.

It's being worked on. And there's a thread in the National Tech forum on the topic.

Our own Rocket mod has commented on that thread.

A weakness in Chrome's Browser tech has been exploited.

All high level IT folks are aware and are working on protecting their servers (or purging the crap). It's not a fix in one day thing.

The owners of the site dont give 2 shits and as far as we know we all have been compromised.

Id recommend using your mobile devices.

Likely no. If you have a decent firewall then your PC should likely be protected from malware. Dont click the ads if you arent already using ad blocker and dont download anything. Malware designed for computers typically either doesnt work or works improperly on phones or other devices. You should be fine.
Same here

Clear your cache and cookies.
Not all sites that folks visit may have purged the stuff from their servers though.
I never had issues, but then I use excellent blockers.
