Some visitors to The Verge were informed that the site contained malware.
(Credit: Declan McCullagh/CNET)Despite warnings that some Chrome users are seeing today, Joshua Topolsky wants to assure readers of the Verge that his site is not ripe with malware.
The problem apparently began this morning when visitors to the tech news site using Google's Web browser were greeted with a message informing them that The Verge contained content from SBNation.com, a site the Web giant accused of distributing malware. (SBNation, a sports news site, is a Verge sister site.) "Your computer might catch a virus if you visit this site," the notice warned.
However, Topolosky, The editor in chief of The Verge insisted in a tweet this morning that his site is safe and was working with Google to resolve the issue.
CNET has contacted Google for comment and will update this report when we learn more.
The Web giant's Safe Browsing API is designed to protect its users from malware and other attacks. Google said in June that it finds about 9,500 new malicious Web sites each day and sends several million warnings to users of Chrome, Firefox, and Safari about malware and phishing on sites the users are about to visit.
