Hi, we have heard some reports from Google Chrome/Safari users in recent days they are getting malware warnings on a number of pages. These seem to be sporadic warnings on a number of pages.

Please write in to Special:Contact if you get any of these messages and explain what wiki you were on and if the browser message is giving you any explanation of where the malware is coming from (like the URL of an ad).

I can not say for certainty what is happening with these warnings, but I will stress that as far as I know no malware has actually been distributed. Chrome tends to err on the side of caution if it senses a potential security issue, which is a good thing. So while we are investigating if malware is indeed afoot, there is also a strong possibility we may be looking at some false positives. This is why any further  Chrome/Safari reports should be forwarded to Special:Contact immediately. It will make figuring out the source of this easier.
