Firefox Flags Sun News Online As An Attack Site (March 19, 2009)
« on: March 19, 2009, 11:24 AM »

This is being reported by FireFox (Thank God for Firefox Grin).  Hopefully, just as my reporting of same for Punch a few months ago, someone who either works for Sun News (I think Feyisara but I am not sure) or someone who knows someone there will alert them to this.  This represents lost revenue and angry visitors.  Details:
