WNU Editor: A picture that I copied and pasted from a well known website had malicious malware hidden in the code.
Google Chrome, Firefox, Apple, and Bing immediately flagged it, and blocked the site.
Took me a good part of the day to figure out what was wrong, but the problem was found.
Had to delete every post that was done today as a precaution.
Firefox is currently saying War News Updates is "secure".
Apple is saying "secure"
Google Chrome is saying "not secure".
Android,
which is part of Google, is saying "not secure".
Bing is saying "not fully secure"
I have to send a request to both Google and Bing to check my site so that they can verify the problem is solved before they give me their "secure" approval. I have already made the request, and they will get back to me in a few days.
Bottom line.
To the best of my knowledge the problem has been found and corrected.
All the web browsers are no longer blocking War News Updates (much to my relief).
But I will still wait another 24 hours before I start posting new stuff.
In the meantime I will be checking to make sure there are no surprises lurking around.
Update: For those who are curious. Here is Google's Transparency Report for War News Updates that is confirming the site is now safe (link here).
