SSM Gets more Aggressive with Malware
Posted by Jason Remillard on Tue, Jul 13, 2010 @ 08:58 AM
Responding to increased attacks and more sophisticated
approaches by hackers, effective immediately ALL subscription packages from SSM will now be scanned for Malware at minimum TWICE a day.
Higher level packages will have the sites subjected to the scans three or more times a day. We are finding with external or even internally hosted ad networks, the prevalence of Malware insertions is increasing. As well, we are trying to confirm, but it looks like our friendly googlebot is getting more aggressive on the Malware detection stance as well, potentially putting your site at a higher risk of being 'caught' by Google.
So, at no extra cost, we've increased the frequency of all scanning options, and expect this to continue onwards.
