Well I went to the webmaster blog today in Firefox 3 RC1 and I got, "Reported Attack Site!" message page. This is going to be an annoying new feature. But who would report your blog as an attack site? That would be just mean, unless it's a bug.

The blog was infected sometime ago, perhaps someone reported it then. Does anyone know how I can get it off whatever list it was added to? I wonder if that is why the blog lost its PR as well.

Check this out Temi:

Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page for www.ukwebmasterworld.com/blog/

You'll have to tell them through webmaster tools.

Edit: So Firefox gets the info from google. Opera has a similar tool but gets their data from Trust Watch and Phish Tank.

Thanks very much for that Gorkfu, rep added and I have contacted Google via the webmaster tool.

Haven't experience that one before, but I just hope I will not in the future..
