Since this morning I get a warning in Google Chrome:
Warning: Something's Not Right Here!
http://www.cmsmadesimple.org contains content from xxxxxxxxxxxx, a site known to distribute malware. Your computer might catch a virus if you visit this site.
Google has found malicious software may be installed onto your computer if you proceed. If you've visited this site in the past or you trust this site, it's possible that it has just recently been compromised by a hacker. You should not proceed, and perhaps try again tomorrow or go somewhere else.

We're on it.

It seems we're the subject of targeted attacks.

We have fixed what they changed (numerous times).
We are just not sure how they are getting in. Some type of file upload vulnerability it seems.
We just haven't found which package and/or site that is on this server is vulnerable.

I promise a full report when we find the solution to this.

If it's a vulnerability in CMSMS core:
- We'll fix it and spit out a new release.

If it's a vulnerability in an addon module:
- We'll find the bug and give the report to the author
(If it's one of my modules, there'll be a new release).

If it's a third party package
- We'll fix the bug and file a report, and let everybody here know.

Looks serious.

Yesterday I couldn't download CMSMS, I kept being redirected to Bing or a weird hostname which didn't resolve (probably a malware url which has since been deleted).

Now, the download page is missing all of its download links:

So has this been resolved?

It appears the download links have returned, I just don't want to download a vexed install of CMSMS.

Google doesn't appear to have visited the site since yesterday is why I am asking.

Much luck in resolving this issue.

Same question, are the downloads safe now?

Yes, the errors are all resolved.

The downloads always were safe... the hacker was injecting some html into the page source to fug with our analytics js... that's all.
