Any politics on infected sites?

[Romeo]

I was digging on google funtions and i found a "safebrowsing tool" that report if a site is safe or if it injects malware.
My site are ok, but google reports that the site (reporteed as spry) is full of infected website.
to have tourself a look
Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page for AS31898 (SPRY)

I wonder if this situation is know either by vpslink/spry staff and by the owner of the infected site. I suppose no (al least by the owner, nobody wants a site to be unreachable with "site dangerous" by google).

I think will be a good thing if you add a "scan" on all the vps and, if you find some malware, just mail to the owner the situation. I suppose there will be a lot of support money coming in for you because many people don't know anything about malware.

Hoping that helps users!

Firstly, thank you very much for this link - I will be adding the review of this utility to our regular auditing and reporting activities.

The report is actually generated based upon our Autonomous System Number (ASN) - the Spry ASN includes all IP addresses associated with both Spry and VPSLink hosting customers.

Our system administrators are presently investigating all of the sites referenced in the Google report.

The owner of every site mentioned will either be assisted with removal of the content (as in the case of Spry shared hosting customers) or issued a warning regarding violation of our Acceptable Use Policy.

Hosting malicious content is explicitly forbidden by the Spry and VPSLink AUP's - additionally, insufficient-secure administration (allowing one's VPS to be hacked) constitutes a violation.

I suspect that future Google Safe Browsing diagnostics will not report the sites which are presently listed, though eliminating all malicious activity on our network is an ongoing project.
