2. Navigating to TRUTHDIG is now preceded by a warning: "This site may harm your computer."

And search using Google states:

LINK

Truthdig: Drilling Beneath the Headlines
www.truthdig.com/‎

This site may harm your computer.

News site providing: expert coverage of current affairs; thoughtful, provocative columnists, presented from a progressive point of view.

WTH?

3. I can't navigate truthdig at all - get a google (wtf) warning page

and no way to continue. WTH indeed.

6. If you click the warning, you get taken to THIS page

https://www.stopbadware.org/firefox?hl=en-US&url=http%3A%2F%2Ftruthdig.net%2F
which invites you to click on other buttons, which I will not do.

See my post below,pls.

4. Here is the explanation...

I searched for Truthdig on duck duck go search engine, got a huge glaring warning page,clicked on the tab for "explain"
and got this page:

Safe Browsing
Diagnostic page for www.truthdig.net

What is the current listing status for www.truthdig.net?

This site is not currently listed as suspicious.

Part of this site was listed for suspicious activity 2 time(s) over the past 90 days.

What happened when Google visited this site?

Of the 3 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 0 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2014-02-08, and suspicious content was never found on this site within the past 90 days.

This site was hosted on 1 network(s) including AS36444 (NEXCESS-NET).

Has this site acted as an intermediary resulting in further distribution of malware?

Over the past 90 days, www.truthdig.net did not appear to function as an intermediary for the infection of any sites.

Has this site hosted malware?

No, this site has not hosted malicious software over the past 90 days.

Next steps:

Return to the previous page.
If you are the owner of this web site, you can request a review of your site using Google Webmaster Tools. More information about the review process is available in Google's Webmaster Help Center.

Which is interesting in that the page from Google says NO problem was found.
But the warning does pop up.
If you click you want to go to Truthdig anyhow, you get sent to a malware site!!
Once you close that site, Truthdig opens as normal.
I could not then replicate the warning that came up, I was always allowed to go to truthdig as normal.

Edited to add:
I went to truthdig, but soon as I clicked on an article, that damn warning covered my screen.
It i malware...
I am emailing Truthdig.

7. Is the .net not different from the .com? Is that a hijack-redirect? Thank you for checking it out.

AWARDS: plenty.

8. both .net and.com go to Truthdig...but I found this just now:

Apparently on Dec. 2012 the site was hacked in the same way, with the warning..
here is an explanation they printed:

We were hacked—twice, in fact. A security vulnerability allowed for the possibility that malicious code could be transmitted through a third site. For this reason, Truthdig was placed on a list of dangerous sites maintained by Google and used by other browser companies. Our technology team worked quickly to close the vulnerabilities and clear the site of potential dangers. However, it takes time for browser companies to re-crawl, re-test and clear sites such as ours that have been attacked. For that reason, it appeared for most of the day that Truthdig was dangerous, although the danger was quickly dealt with.

again , NOTE..this page is from a Dec. 2012 hack.

Looks like the same thing is happening..
I sent them a note.

10. Quid pro quo

Interesting.

During the "Cold War," Radio Free Europe and The Voice of America, broadcast fact-based news and informed opinion to the news-starved people of the Soviet Union.

Today, RT (Russia Today) is returning the favor.
