Title: Websense
Post by: Skatastrophy on March 24, 2010, 04:40:49 PM

As of today Websense has muscoop.com listed under their "Malicious Sites" bucket (much to my chagrin once I got to work today).  I sent them an email requesting that they re-categorize the site since the script that they probably noticed yesterday has been taken care of.

Websense categorizes websites all over the Internet and then distributes those classifications to organizations worldwide.  Hopefully Websense takes care of their mis-categorization soon or else we'll have quite a few disappointed MU Scoop professionals on our hands.

I'm letting you know that I did this so that Websense doesn't get multiple emails.  Additionally I'd like to redeem my good (albeit self serving) deed for +1 Internet Point so that I can brag to my friends  :P

Argh...thanks.  I don't have any experience with websense, but if you need any backup lemme know. I've got proof the exploit has been removed, and the hole closed.

Great, thanks for the offer of backup.  I sent the email from work so hopefully they don't second guess me (I have a relatively imposing technical title :P).  I'll let you know when I hear back.  From looking into it I'm expecting a reply from them sometime tomorrow.
