What can a site Owner do in this situation? Does Google provide information on why a site is flagged?
I wrote this a while back after having Google flag my site as malicious. http://www.besttechie.com/2011/09/19/how-to-fix-site-google-...

#12I hope this doesn't set back the launch of Polygon. We've already been waiting for months, and according to Press Reset (their making-of documentary for the site), it's supposed to launch in October.

The Safe Browsing diagnostic page is your best bet when this happens.

Edit: Firefox provides these links in the form of a button labeled "Why was this page blocked?"

#15The alert says that theverge.com itself is not blacklisted just contains stuff from infected sites.
I would try setting a new hostname for the cdn content servers and see if that works. Assuming of course they have gotten rid of the malware.

Unless you routinely serve up javascript from domains like 'dustym' on port 8888, then you apparently haven't done anything yet - it's still being included on www.theverge.com right now.

You could get TheVerge unblocked right now: Move your stylesheets and other static files to a different CDN (not the sbnation domain).
If TheVerge can take it... just refer to the local addresses. Shove a Varnish instance in front to help if you fear for the web servers.

Why would you link me to that? There is no discussion there that is of any value above what's in this thread (there are no comments). Please don't do that; I realize it was only a couple seconds of my life wasted (plus the 30 seconds to write this comment), but I would really appreciate it if this didn't become a trend.

If it helps or anything, this is what Chrome is reporting specifically to me:
