Balsamiq's Malware Warning Explanation

Our site balsamiq.com was hacked today. Right now the site is back up and all clean, so now we're just waiting for the powers that be (the holy algorithms at Google) to review our site and remove the warning. It might take a day or so.

In the meantime, you can choose to "proceed anyways" when prompted by your browser, or stay away for a little longer just to play it extra safe (we understand if you do). :)

We have also worked with our ISP to make sure this doesn't happen again, to the best of our and their ability [1].

Sorry for the hassle everyone!
Peldi and the Balsamiq Team

[1] If you want the details, the intrusion was due to a Wordpress vulnerability that our ISP hadn't patched yet. It's all patched now so that not only that vulnerability but that whole class of similar vulnerabilities will be trapped in the future. We are also going to move the core of our website (home, product, company, buy and download pages) to a different setup: they are going to be static html pages saved on Amazon S3, with a CDN in front. This is the most reliable and secure setup we can think of. We expect the migration to be done in a couple of days.
