In Response To: Passing along unsubstantiated rumor (Chuck Bower)

From gnubg.org...

A few hours ago Google listed this side as suspicious. See also Safe browsing.

We checked the webpages, indeed found some manipulated files (index.html, index.php contained some hidden iframes) and exchanged them. As far as we can see no other files are affected, especially no downloadable files like the GNU Backgammon binaries (Windows, MacOS and Linux). But it won't hurt if you always check your downloads with an updated virus scanner.

We will investigate further and contact Google as soon as we are sure that the exploit is eliminated. Sorry for any inconvenicence.
