Problem with Google's Reputation Server?
We received a report this morning (Thanks Rob) asking if we've heard about any other problems with Google's reputation server. Apparently starting this morning at ~8:30 EST, Firefox started reporting a number of "clean" sites as attack sites.
Since Firefox gets this reputation information from Google, Rob writes in asking if we've heard any other reports.
So let's hear from you. Any other strange activity?
